tube of silicone should do  the trick for the ss units.
Just be sure to seal all.

just not necessary?

We had problems with the port flapping on one of our B5c's when it was
running off of a Packetflux injector (with no surge suppressor)... after
replacing everything other than the radio itself, I ended up hooking it up
to a GigE-POE-SS instead and it's been working fine ever since.

I'll be using the stock injectors more than likely, so the GIGE-APC-HV
would be a good match?

Yes, that would be correct - that's what I used on ours. If one was wanting
to use the stock (or some other) PoE, I assume you would just use one of
the GigE HV surge suppressors.
