[RE-wrenches] Module Connectors

[jay peltz]

HI Jeff,

Hate to give you bad news but the Jan issue of Photon International lists al the current end makers.
There are 20 different manufacturers with 38 different ends.
Now to be fair many are interconnectable, but its only going to get worse.
I'm not holding my breath that they will standardize anything,

Also, if looks like there will be a switch to another design due to up-coming code changes, should we just hold off until a new connector type is in production?
