What is the required length?

The PDP, PCM, and VRM documents list 3/8". The FIRST video on using Weidmuller connectors says 5/8"

I believe the spec is actually 8mm but I just want to make sure since the official FIRST video says something different.

Radio PoE
Also has anyone found a COTS solution to doing PoE for the radio? The adafruit set didn't work in my testing.
