The connector is 10cm or ~4 inches, not 7...[url=https://www.romanarmytalk.com/rat/showthread.php?tid=25456&pid=338630#pid338630][/url]
I suspect the error on the length may have have come about as result of a mistake in, or misinterpretaion of the record. To me the sleeve looks closer to 11cm, this could be easily mistaken for 17.
I've come across similar things before, unrelated eg: material thickness 0.005m as 5cm, at the time I had to look in the original report to find this suspected error, the reason why its always a good idea not necesarily to take measurements at face value and double check where possible.
But in any case the length of 17cm is clearly not correct.
