RJ-45 Connector Pin Assignments
Caution: DO-NOT plug a phone jack connector into
any RJ-45 port. Use only twisted-pair cables
with RJ-45 connectors that conform with
FCC standards.
An Ethernet or Fast Ethernet twisted-pair link segment
requires two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by
two different colors. For example, one wire might be green
and the other, green with a white stripe.
Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connector in a
specific orientation as detailed below.
