PoE Question

I've got a question about PoE. Of the teams that powered their radios by PoE, did you use a passive injector(if so..which one?) or did you manufacture a custom cable? The reason I'm asking is that with a passive injector there are three more connection points...three more places for a failed connection. I'm wanting to minimize wiring failures. We were plagued with issues at both regionals and they stemmed from the radio power connections(and a loose ground in one instance).
I'm leaning toward making a custom cable...no muss...no fuss. Please share your experiences with this issue.
