What we do here at Stratus is remove the clip from the ethernet socket on
the sun.  There are two screws to remove.  Remove the screws and the clip,
and don't put the screws back in.  This allows the drop cable connector to
slide an extra 1/4" or so onto the sun-side connector.  This has proved to
be acceptable for us.
