   sinbon (hungary based) make these short ix Industrial to ethernet jack (!) cables for an OK price (16 EUR). i think these should be very useful for MNT Pocket Reform users. anyone interested? i'll buy a bunch and we'll put them in the shop.

     @mntmn My biggest worry is that I haven't seen ix ethernet show up in many products. So what I really want is to see it everywhere, that way everyone would sell the cables cheaply. And more importantly, when you go somewhere, they "just have" the cable you need.

     Like all my friends have a USB-C charger, so I can use theirs if needed to plug in.

     Do you see ix ethernet taking off?

     @purpleidea well, it is a thing in the industrial world but not (yet) in consumer products. would be great if that changed though.

     @mntmn I hadn't heard of ix Industrial connectors before. Just last month I was wondering why there wasn't a smaller connector for wired Ethernet.
