That's why I say "in most installations, more connectors usually equal
more problems". Mechanical-electro connectors are the weak link in
most all systems.
I've never burned any coax, but I sure have fried a few connectors to
the point of having them flash over internally. With low level signals,
oxidation of contacts restrict or prevent the flow of current. For that
reason, it is good practice to "exercise" connectors to provide wiping
action of the contacts.
And then there are those "look good" connectors found at many hamfests.
Buyer beware, they aren't usually as they appear but simply "good
looking" not necessarily "good performing". Stick with major known brands.

The quality of the coax is usually good, but it is the connectors that
give trouble. If you cut off the connectors and use Amphenol
connectors you will usually have a 'quality' cable.
