TESTING EXAMPLES: ETHERNET
Ethernet cables have 4 pairs of wires (”twisted
pairs”). It is important that the pairs correctly
go to connector pins 1,2; 3,6; 4,5; and 7,8. The
Pocket CAT tests for the proper pairing and if
there is an error it will report it to you. The follow-
ing examples are based on EIA/TIA 568B (the
most popular ethernet wiring standard).
