RJ 45:
(RJ xx: telephone connection interfaces, registered with the FCC, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission.)
Pins: looking at the wiring end of a plug with the latch down, pin 1 is on the left.
CAT6 essentially obsoletes the CAT5 standard and will obsolete the CAT5e standard. CAT6 was introduced with the
publication of the TIA standard 568-B2-1 (June 20, 2002). The bandwidth is more than doubled from 100MHz to
250MHz and the connector insertion loss and the crosstalk is improved.
pair 1: blue
pair: 2 orange
pair: 3 green
pair: 4 brown
(twisted about 3 times per inch)
Ethernet uses only pair 3 (green, on pins 1 and 2), and pair 2 (orange, on pins 3 and 6).
EIA/TIA specifies RJ-45 (ISO 8877) connectors for UTP cable (unshielded twisted pair).
