RJ-45 Connector Jackets

Use RJ-45 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.
●
Figure 51 shows examples of connector jacket types that are not recommended as well as those that are
