RJ45 Ethernet Cable Wiring

For RJ45 connectors, data-quality, twisted pair cabling (rated CAT5 or better) is
recommended. The connector bodies on the RJ45 Ethernet ports are metallic and
connected to the GND terminal. For best performance, use shielded cabling.
Shielded cabling may be used to provide further protection.
