Use RJ45 Connector Jackets
Use RJ45 cable with connector jackets that are flush with the connector or that have

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.
