Note Referring to the RJ-45 pinout in Table B-1, proper common-mode line terminations should
be used for the unused cable pairs 4/5 and 7/8. Common-mode termination reduces
electromagnetic interference (EMI).
To identify the RJ-45 cable type, hold the two ends of the cable next to each other so you can see the
colored wires inside the ends, as shown in Figure B-3.
Figure B-3
Examine the sequence of colored wires to determine the type of RJ-45 cable:
Straight-through—The colored wires are in the same sequence at both ends of the cable.
•
• Crossover—The first (far left) colored wire at one end of the cable is the third colored wire at the
other end of the cable.
