RJ-45 Connector Jackets

Use RJ-45 cable with connector jackets that are flush with the connector or that have connectors with a

• Crowded cable installation, which can cause connectors to pop out of the port.
Figure 4 shows examples of connector jacket types that are not recommended as well as those that are
