I find the Power pole connectors perfectly serviceable... And I am pretty much a cabling/connector freak.
I like Power Poles because they are serviceable, configurable, and becoming more common/standard as time passes. Would I prefer a CPC or other connector? Perhaps, but the Power Pole does the job and at a manufacturing price point that makes sense. If you do your cabling and cable routing correctly, you should never have a problem. The connectors are rated to carry enough power to satisfy the K3s' needs AT FULL POWER. And there are ways/devices to make PP connections "more secure". ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 On 9/13/2016 7:53 AM, Ramon Tristani wrote: > The Power Pole connectors on the back of my K3 provide for only a marginal, > non-secure connection to the cable coming from the power supply.
