Using RJ45 Connector Jackets

Use RJ45 cable with connector jackets that are flush with the connector or that have
connectors with a no-snag feature.
Using cable with jackets that are wider than the connectors can cause:
•
Connectors that are not properly aligned with the port.
•
Crowded cable installation, which can cause connectors to pop out of the port.
2 Proprietary to Extreme Networks. Connections between two Extreme Networks 1000BASE-LX
interfaces that use 10/125 µm single-mode fiber can use a maximum distance of 10,000 meters.
