4E RJ-45 Connector Pinout
Note
Referring to the RJ-45 pinout in Table 12, proper common-mode line terminations should be
used for the unused Category 5, UTP cable pairs 4/5 and 7/8. Common-mode termination reduces
the contributions to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and susceptibility to common-mode
sources. Wire pairs 4/5 and 7/8 are actively terminated in the RJ-45 port circuitry in the 4E port
adapter.
Depending on your 4E, RJ-45 interface cabling requirements, use the pinouts in Figure 27 and
Figure 28.
