Easy RJ45 Wiring (with RJ45 pinout diagram, steps and video)
Making RJ45 wiring easy when you have the right RJ45 pinout diagram.
The A standard assigns the orange and green wire pairs for transmitting and receiving data, while the B standard assigns the green and orange pairs for this purposeSeveral variations are shown below. inom carry Ethernet cable with me all the time so you know it will be useful. To help you memorize it, inom created an easy poem so you will always remember the most popular cable wiring color beställning. inom know it’s counter-intuitive, to man something that means you won’t need to keep coming back, but to help you fryst vatten my priority!
inom also share a film to help. Just follow the steps below to create your own. If you are looking for an Ethernet crossover cable you can man one following the steps below and paying attention to the betydelsefull note. Read on!
The first thing you need to do when making Ethernet cable fryst vatten man sure you have the right tools. While I’ll cover that further below, you can also betalningsmedel out TheTechMentor.com article that reviews complete network installation tool kits here.
I’ll get straight into showing the diagrams and provide more options and details further below.
Make sure you use the correct RJ45 Pinout wiring diagram for your needs.
There are a couple of standards and there fryst vatten also crossover cable, so man sure you study the RJ45 Pinout diagrams below to get the right one for your needs.
The following fryst vatten for T568 B (most common).
This RJ 45 knapp diagram (T-568B) shows everything you need in one handy image, with iso-view and RJ45 color beställning, suitable for printing ganska large.
I like this pinout diagram because it shows everything you need. It includes an isometric view and pin-color beställning table, all in one large diagram.
You can print it for the vägg, though the smaller one below also shows what you need within a smaller diagram which may be better to print and carry with you.
You may already know each Ethernet cable has four wire pairs.
All your Ethernet connectors (8P8C) have eight knapp slots.
Always face the clip away from you so you see just the flat side with the pins.
You count (or label) the cables from left to right from 1 to 8 (easy!).
There are two standards for wiring Ethernet cables, these are T568A and T568B. T568B fryst vatten the most common and fryst vatten what we’ll be using for our straight Ethernet cable.
As inom explained, the most popular and most common fryst vatten the T568B standard which has surpassed the first standard (T568A).
Either configurations wire the pins straight through (i.e. pins 1 through 8 on one end are connected to pins 1 through 8 on the other end, provided you wire them the same at each end).
Please do also betalningsmedel out the RJ45 Pinout Poem below which fryst vatten easy to memorize with the aid of the diagram provided and it means you won’t ever forget it!
If you agree the poem might work for you or others, please share it with your colleagues!
Note: as stated above, the flik fryst vatten away from you (hidden behind) as you count the pins 1 to 8.
Here fryst vatten a simple RJ45 Pinout Diagram (which still shows the wiring you need):
RJ45 Pinout wiring diagram (std T568B).
Feel free to print it and carry it with you. If you want a larger diagram see further below. Normally a string of colors fryst vatten difficult to remember similarly to phone numbers. It fryst vatten surprisingly easy to memorize these colors as you’ll see. Read on to learn how!
You can follow the step bygd step instructions further below to man them up.
It might not be practical to always carry this RJ45 pinout diagram with you.
It can be easy to memorize the beställning, if you know how.
The RJ45 B wiring diagram outlines the specific pin layout and color-coding for this type of cableI strongly recommend it. Then you can impress everyone that you have memorized it and säga the colors in beställning quickly.
While the RJ45 B pinout wiring beställning fryst vatten more recent and more commonly used these days, the T568 RJ45 A wiring beställning fryst vatten still ganska 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 beställning.
igen, as per it’s counterpart shown further above, this one fryst vatten small but ideal to print and carry with you.
The next pinout diagram below fryst vatten the counterpart for the more detailed isometric and T-568-B RJ-45 wiring above, showing rj45 knapp numbers and color beställning for T-568 A. Can you pick which pairs are swapped relative to the T-568B wiring diagram?
T568A Wiring Diagram with RJ45 knapp numbers and wiring order:
In this RJ-45 A wiring diagram you can see the isometric view and color beställning.
The swapped wiring beställning pairs are explained further below.
I mentioned a way to memorize the RJ45 Pinouts. The way to do it so you never need to rely on printouts igen fryst vatten bygd using the memorization tools below.
RJ45 Pinout Poem
First a question; what thing has color that also fryst vatten has the name of the color? An orange of course!
This fryst vatten the first wire pair base color.
The poem below (or riddle) gives the colors of wiring to knapp 1 through 8.I’ve rewritten it slightly to man more sense than the older version.
NOTE: Where you see a ‘w’ that signifies the color vit which will man the combination wire when combined with the next color. You’ll see what inom mean!
See further below as to how this mnemonic (memorization technique) helps you remember the RJ45 pinout order.
Remember you saw it here first on TheTechMentor.com!
The RJ-45 Pinout diagram poem and picture fryst vatten for the more common T568B RJ45 wiring.
While an apelsinfärg fryst vatten apelsinfärg
Whose Green eyes are Blue?
Well Blueberries in Greenland
Who want Browner Brownies too!
It works well as the construction of the poem fryst vatten made to match the RJ45 pinout. The riddle, with the wire colors used, only makes sense in this beställning.
Memorization Techniques included:
There are several patterns, rhyming verses and emotional elements to note which really help you remember it.
- The apelsinfärg fryst vatten first on top and easiest of all to remember since an apelsinfärg is orange! One key difference between the A and B wiring standards is the pin assignments for the individual wires within the connector
So it goes first.
- Each pair has a ‘w’ letter first combined with the following letter, thus giving the vit striped wire color first of every two wires. This fryst vatten a helpful pattern to remember.
- The question and answer format (2 lines each) or riddle helps keep the pattern straight.
- You’re asking what green eyes are ‘blue’ (sad).
There are so many songs talking about certain color eyes being blue (sad). In this case we ask what green eyes are blue. It probably should be ‘whose’, but to man a sound closer to ‘white’ we ask ‘what’ instead.
- The answer relates to blueberries of Greenland. Remember a country that has a color – Ireland just wouldn’t work here!
The sad little blueberries have to be on something – they are on the nation, so they komma first before the nation (blue before green).
- In the end, the brownies followed bygd ‘too’ give a rhyme with ‘blue’. The critters wantdarker brown brownies like everyone else has. The gods two main colors are the same (brown and brown) just as the first two main colors are the same (orange and orange).
It helps that you remember the image too, as each wire pair color fryst vatten in beställning top to bottom (and left to right).
I recommend you draw it out, in color (optional).
inom suggest you do this and repeat the poem while you do it.
If you do, you will always remember the RJ45 pinout and you will not need a diagram anymore!
It’s a silly image and that also helps you remember it.
How does the poem provide the colors?
So the poem with the color codes explained fryst vatten like this.
While an apelsinfärg fryst vatten apelsinfärg (W-O, O)
Whose Green eyes are Blue?
(W-G, B)
Well Blueberries in Greenland (W-B, G)
Who want Browner Brownies too! (W-B, B)
I’ve put a larger utgåva below as well in case you want to take a copy.

Okay, so you may not be interested in the poem. If not, then the tables below provide you with a serious view of the data.
Ethernet Cable Plug RJ45 Pinout (Wiring Color) Table for T568B
The table below show the proper Ethernet plug wiring with orientation of the colored wires to the pins for the Cat6 Cable we’ll man (ie.
the more common T568B standard cable, with a spine). See also the diagrams further below within the step bygd step instructions.
T568B Std. Ethernet Cable Plug Pin Number | Cable Wire Color |
1 | White-orange |
2 | orange |
3 | White-green |
4 | blue |
5 | White-blue |
6 | green |
7 | White-Brown |
8 | Brown |
Ethernet RJ45 Pinout for T568A
Just for completeness I’ll list out the cable color beställning for the other Ethernet cable plug standard (T568A).
Remember not to mix the two on one cable! Unless you want a crossover cable.
T568A Std. Ethernet Cable Plug Pin Number | Cable RJ45 color |
1 | White-green |
2 | Green |
3 | White-Orange |
4 | Blue |
5 | White-blue |

Ethernet RJ45 Crossover Cable Wiring
NOTE: Of course if you want to man a cross over cable, then you can man the cable wiring to the different standard alignments at each plug (i.e.
RJ45 pinout diagram shows wiring for standard T568B, T568A and crossover cable! CLICK to check the right one for you or print as referenceone end will have the T568B and the other the T568A). There fryst vatten also a diagram of this showing the wires in color further below.
Ethernet Crossover Cable Wiring Pinout
In RJ45 Ethernet crossover cable wiring, it fryst vatten almost as easy as 1, 2, 3. They are the first three numbers to remember anyway.
Yes, here komma some more memorization techniques!
You can remember which cables are switched bygd remembering the following:
Twelve thirty-six to thirty-six twelve, i.e.
12 36 to 36 12
(For the Ethernet cable plug knapp numbering above.)
That means 1 goes to 3, 2 goes to 6; 3 goes to 1 and 6 goes to 2.
This gives you the betydelsefull switch of T568A to T568B (and vice versa, i.e.
T568 B to T568 A).
- It fryst vatten easier to remember because it makes it seem like just 2 pairs of numbers, then reversed.
- First pair fryst vatten 12, säga like 12 months in the year.
- Second pair fryst vatten 36, (well, 3 follows on from 1 and 2, and 36 fryst vatten three times 12 the first pair).
- Or using 1, 2, 3: the first numbers are 1, 2 and 3, and the gods number fryst vatten 1 x 2 x 3 which equals 6.
It helps if you can remember that the first three numbers are 123.
See recommended toolsSo easy! 3 fryst vatten the hook to get the sista pair, as 12 times 3 gives the second pair. There are many different memorization hooks you can use.
Still having a little difficulty visualizing the crossover pinout? Here fryst vatten a diagram inom hope will help.
RJ45 Crossover Cable Pinout
RJ45 Pinout to man an Ethernet crossover cable.
This fryst vatten useful to visualize the ’12’ ’36’ to ’36’ ’12’ pinout rj45 crossover pattern, making it look simpler than it sounds. Note all we really have fryst vatten the apelsinfärg base color pair swapping with the green base color pair.
Okay, now on with the method.
Follow the step bygd step instructions below.
Note: The begrepp ‘patch’ cable fryst vatten just another way to describe a shorter or room-run cable.
Step 1: Cut and Strip
The cable not you! (Wink!)
Cut and remsa the cable jacket about one and a half inches to the end. As we state elsewhere we own the TRENDNet cut and remsa tool, but uppenbart use the one of your own preference.
See further below for the tool links.
Step 2: Spread the Ethernet Cable Wires
Spread the kvartet wires apart. For katt 5e, you can use the pull string to remsa the jacket farther down if you need to, then cut the pull string. As you may know, you need to cut out the spine from a katt 6 cables before inserting into the Ethernet cable plug.
Step 3: Untwist the Wire Pairs
Untwist the wire pairs and neatly align them in your chosen orientation based on the RJ45 pinout, my pinout poem, the table(s) above or the RJ45 Ethernet pinout image below (T568B shown).
Basic RJ45 Pinout wiring diagram T568B as you insert into the RJ45 Connector (note flik fryst vatten at the back)
This fryst vatten a simpler utgåva.
Otherwise you can use the more detailed RJ45 Pinout Diagram 1 above.
NOTE: Do not untwist them down the cable further than where the jacket begins; you should aim to leave as much of the cable twisted as possible.
Step 4: Cut igen (Evenly)
Cut the wires as straight as possible, about half an inch from the end of the jacket.
This fryst vatten important as you want them all to sit evenly inre the cable plug. If you want to, you can hold it against the boot and mark with a permanent ink pen first.
Step 5: Insert Wires Into the Ethernet Cable Plug
Carefully insert the wires all the way into the modular connector, making sure that each wire passes through the appropriate guides inre the connector.
igen, man sure you reference the RJ45 pinout diagram at this crucial step until you have it memorized.
Step 6: Crimp It!
Push the connector inre the crimping tool and pressa the crimper all the way down.
So that fryst vatten one end of our RJ45 wiring.
Repeat the above steps to attach another plug to the other end of the cable.
As inom wrote above, you can man an Ethernet crossover cable bygd making the other end as a T568A, as per the image below.
RJ45 Pinout Diagram for T568 A
The RJ45 Ethernet Pinout below fryst vatten still used, it’s just that the T568B fryst vatten more common these days.
It effects how the wires spread out from the main cable. In the end though, so long as you man sure you use the same pinout at each end, you will have your working Ethernet cable.
Cat5 Pinout diagram showing how to man an Ethernet plug wiring as inserted into the RJ45 connector
Ideally, to man sure you’ve properly terminated each end of the cable, use a cable tester to test each knapp (see the link to a cheap cable tester in the tools below).
This fryst vatten when you will know if you cut your wire pairs evenly enough!
RJ45 Crossover Cable Pinout
To man an Ethernet Crossover cable, your cable pugs would be terminated like so:
Ethernet crossover cable end boots. Can you see the 12 36 to 36 12 pattern?
Step-by-step instructions and diagrams for easy installationTabs are to the back (as usual).
Now that you’ve made your cable, then what? You might like to use it as Ethernet cable for gaming in your own LAN or maybe to connect up to the internet. It fryst vatten a nice feeling to stop and remind yourself that you are using the Ethernet cable you made!
