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.

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

If you use unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cabling in an installation, take precautions to avoid radio 
frequency (RF) interference. RF interference can cause degradation of signal quality, and, in an Ethernet
