Straight and crossover cable configuration
There are two types of the wiring: Straight-Through Cables and Crossover Cables. Category 5 UTP/
STP cable has eight wires inside the sheath. The wires form four pairs. Straight-Through Cables has
same pinouts at both ends while Crossover Cables has a different pin arrangement at each end.
In a straight-through cable, wires 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and 8 at one end of the cable are still wires 1~8 at the
other end. In a crossover cable, the wires of 1,2,3,6 are reversed so that wire 1 become 3 at the other
end of the cable, 2 becomes 6, and so forth.
To determine which wire is wire 1, hold the RJ-45 cable tip with the spring clip facing towards the
ground and the end pointing away from you. The copper wires exposed upwards to your view. The
first wire on the far left is wire 1. You can also refer to the illustrations and charts of the internal
wiring on the following page.
