Microphone connectors fail eventually, even the well-made ones with set screws and clamps.

There is one advantage to the RJ-45 -- it's easy to clip off a little wire and crimp on a new one.

Replacing a more traditional connector is much harder.

But the most miserable use is as a mic connector which Motorola went to. Now I see many ham radio mfr's copying. Instead of molded multi-contact connector with set screw which holds contact tension its just wiggle wiggle that poor RJ45.
