Cable Pinouts
To identify the RJ-45 cable type, hold the two ends of the cable next to each other so that you can see
the colored wires inside the ends, as shown in
Figure 1-4
Examine the sequence of colored wires to determine the type of RJ-45 cable, as follows:
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.
