* 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.
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 7 shows examples of connector jacket types that are not recommended as well as those that are
recommended.
