Twisted-Pair Cable and Pin Assignments
Caution: DO NOT plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45 port.
For 100BASE-TX/10BASE-T connections, a twisted-pair cable must have
two pairs of wires. Each wire pair is identified by two different colors. For

an RJ-45 connector must be attached to both ends of the cable.
Caution: Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-45 connectors in a
Figure B-1 illustrates how the pins on the RJ-45 connector are numbered.
Be sure to hold the connectors in the same orientation when attaching the
wires to the pins.
