RJ45 Jack and Plug Pinout

This document provides information about Ethernet cable pinouts for RJ45 jacks and plugs. It explains that there are two basic cable types - a straight through cable used to connect devices to a hub or switch where both ends have the same wiring, and a cross over cable used for direct peer-to-peer connections without a hub/switch. The straight through cable wiring diagram is shown, pairing each wire color with its corresponding RJ45 pin number and Ethernet signal.

RJ45 Jack and Plug Pinout

Ethernet Cable Pinouts:

There are two basic cables. A straight through cable, which is used to connect to a hub
or switch, and a cross over cable used to operate in a peer-to-peer fashion without a
hub/switch. Some interfaces can cross and un-cross a cable automatically as needed,
really quite nice.

Standard, Straight-Through Wiring (both ends are the same):
