Fast Ethernet Port Cables and Pinouts
The 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet ports support IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u specifications
for 10-Mbps and 100-Mbps transmission over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables. Each Fast Ethernet
port on the router has an RJ-45 connector to attach to Category 3 or Category 5 UTP cables.

commercially.

Identifying an RJ-45 Crossover Cable

You can identify a crossover cable by comparing the two modular ends of the cable. Hold the cables
side-by-side with the tab at the back. The first (far left) colored wire (pin 1) at one end of the cable is
the third colored wire (pin 3) at the other end of the cable. The second colored wire (pin 2) at one end
of the cable is the sixth colored wire (pin 6) at the other end of the cable. Pin 1 wire is white.
