When do you have the right RJ45 Pinout diagram?

Making RJ45 wiring easy when you have the right RJ45 pinout diagram. Several variations are shown below. I carry Ethernet cable with me all the time so you know it will be useful. To help you memorize it, I created a brilliant poem so you will always remember the most popular cable wiring color order. I also share a video to help.

What kind of connector is a RJ45 cable?

Which is the correct wiring order for RJ45?

While the RJ45 B pinout wiring order is more recent and more commonly used these days, the T568 RJ45 A wiring order is still quite common (you just want to be consistent and use the crossover cable further below where necessary). This diagram shows the original T-568 pinout wiring order.

How many rj11s do you need for a RJ45?

It needs to have a male RJ45 on one side and 2 female RJ11s on the other. Taking a close look at the wiring diagram it appears to follow T568B on the RJ45 side. You can still use it with T568A pinouts but line 2 and 3 will be swapped.
