CAUTION
RJ45 connectors can be wired according to network cable
wiring standards EIA/TIA T568A or EIA/TIA T568B.
To prevent device and/or network malfunctions:
The terminal assignments for the different network cable wire standards
are as follows:
Network cable wire standard T568A
• Terminal 1: Green wire with white tracer
• Terminal 2: Green wire
• Terminal 3: Orange wire with white tracer
• Terminal 4: Blue wire
• Terminal 5: Blue wire with white tracer
• Terminal 6: Orange wire
• Terminal 7: Brown wire with white tracer
• Terminal 8: Brown wire
Network cable wire standard T568B
• Terminal 1: Orange wire with white tracer
• Terminal 2: Orange wire
• Terminal 3: Green wire with white tracer
• Terminal 4: Blue wire
• Terminal 5: Blue wire with white tracer
• Terminal 6: Green wire
• Terminal 7: Brown wire with white tracer
• Terminal 8: Brown wire

• It is strongly recommended that wiring standard T568A
or T568B be chosen at the network design stage, and
applied to all relevant devices throughout the life of the
project.
• Always use the same wiring standard at both ends of
the same patch cable (for example, if a cable's RJ45
connector is wired according to T568A, the connector at
the opposite end of the cable must also be wired
according to T568A).
