Hmm... aside from the benefits of having a surge suppressor, that
actually seems like a good idea for anything that has a DC plug
(without screw terminals). Just stick one of these

and the problem of needing to run a new cable up when you change to new
gear is solved.

My Purewave experience was basically a $10K experiment in
self-flagellation, but one thing they stressed that might have some
validity is putting a surge protector on the DC power feed right by
the AP. They had a special connector that required a special crimp
tool if you wanted to make your own, but if you used their recommended
48VDC surge protector, that gave you a convenient place to transition
to screw terminals. They claimed the basestation field failure rate
went to near zero when they started having customers install the surge
protectors.
What you’re probably looking for is an industry standard connector
with screw or compression terminals, like the “Phoenix” connectors
that Trango and Packetflux use? Usually that requires some sort of
housing that attaches to the gland, to provide room for the connector.

Emphasis on screw terminals. Not a Molex connector that requires a
special tool. Sorry Telrad.
My beef with the Molex connector approach is that it would be a huge
problem field terminate that. When we transitioned from an older
Wimax model to the Compact, we had to run a new power cable every
time, and now we have a bunch of dead weight power cables on the
tower.

Vendors... If you're listening, a radio with an SFP port that you
still have to power over 802.3af/802.3at PoE and a cat5e cable is not
a real carrier grade solution. It needs to have screw terminals for a
-48VDC connection, same as any proper carrier grade full outdoor
licensed PTP radio.

I think the 450m might? Some MT ones do, but that's MT wireless...
Some LTE ones do.
Some announcements...
