To determine which wire is wire number 1, hold the cable so
that the end of the plastic RJ-45 tip (the part that goes into a
wall jack first) is facing away from you. Face the clip down so
that the copper side faces up (the springy clip will now be par-
allel to the floor), when looking down on the copper side, wire
1 is on the far left.
