TWISTED PAIR ETHERNET WITH RJ-45 CONNECTOR

If you hold the RJ-45 connector facing you (as if you were going to plug it into your mouth) with the lock tab down, then the pins are numbered 1 to 8 from left to right. The pin usage is as follows:

       Pin Number              Assignment
       ----------              ----------
       8                       Reserved for Telephone use
       7                       Reserved for Telephone use
       6                       Input Data (-)
       5                       Reserved for Telephone use
       4                       Reserved for Telephone use
       3                       Input Data (+)
       2                       Output Data (-)
       1                       Output Data (+)

* since it is best to think of the lock tab as always facing down, we put the above pin listing in descending order.

CLIP FACING DOWN - This is how I wire the connector on twisted pair ethernet: Three (3) and six (6) must be a twisted pair.
