Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs Twisted-Pair Cable/Connector Pin-Outs Twisted-Pair Cable for 100VG LAN Ports To connect PCs and other devices to the 100VG LAN ports, use a “straight- through” 4-pair twisted-pair cable. The twisted-pair wires must be twisted through the entire length of the cable. The illustration below shows the RJ-45 pin connections, color code, and pair configuration for an 100VG LAN cable (unbundled) that conforms to the EIA/TIA 568B wiring standard for a straight-through cable.
