Ever had one crackle and have to be wiggled to get a good contact? Our telephone network junction box is exposed to humidity outdoors, and even though those have little foam seals around the plug to try to keep the moisture out, the plug or jack has to be replaced yearly when corrosion shorts it out. Other than equipment that is built with these connectors (phones and Ethernet) I would NEVER use one on anything I built.
