Ordering a replacement SRAM Chain, do I include the connector in the pin count?

I have an SRAM chain that measures 114 links WITHOUT the Powerlink connector……I.e, 116 with the chain installed…

I can buy the chain either 114 or 120 links…..when SRAM specifies 114 length, is that with or without the connector plate included in their count?

Thanks

114 links is 57 inches of chain, with the quick link installed. Before the link is installed it's 56.5 inches.

The powerlink connector is only half a link. Since you need an even number of links the 114 must include the powerlink.
