BOE Serial Connection

I've got a new BOE-Bot. Is there any wisdom on how to avoid wear-and-tear on the serial connection to the BOE? DB9 connectors aren't made for repeated [noparse][[/noparse]un]plugging, and this one isn't supported by anything other than the connection to the board.

The BOE-Bot is a great product, by the way (especially at the $99 RS closeout price).

    DB9 connectors are very durable. Those are the same connectors used on the old Atari joysticks and I've never worn out the connector.

    · All Things Must Pass, but I wouldn't sweat this one.
    · If it's a big enough deal for you, make a short male-to-female cable and leave it connected to the BOE.·
