Found this in a search (at least it has pin numbers!)


and it would SUGGEST my module is from bottom left anti-clockwise:

B/B-W = 1/1
Or/Or-W= 2/2
G/G-W = 3/3
Br/Br-W = 4/4

To make it clear what I am trying to do. I need to plug a 'commercial' RJ45(B?) cable into this socket to connect to the 'puter. I can sort the other end out where I connect to the router once I have the pins right.

Anyone brave enough to confirm? I then need to wire 1,2,3 and 6 if I have this puzzle cracked? Hoping that means:-

Solid Blue
Solid Orange
Solid Green

But where is 6?? . Then it gets even more confusing:


According to the EIA/TIA-568B RJ-45 Wiring Scheme:
Pair#2 (white/orange, orange) and Pair#3 (white/green, green) are the only two pairs used for 10BaseT data.

Pair#2 is connected to pins 1 and 2 like this:
Pin 1 wire color: white/orangePin 2 wire color:orange

Pair#3 is connected to pins 3 and 6 like this:
Pin 3 wire color:white/greenPin 6 wire color:green</B>

There has to be an easier way........................

Edit to add: I think the little light has just come on in my head

1/2/3/4 on the diagram refer to the cable pairs? I think I read somewhere that the wires with white flash are odd numbers? Is there perhaps a glimmer of hope? I used to think 6.5 hour air-refuelled trips in a single-seat interceptor escorting the baddies through the Iceland/Faroes gap were difficult - just think if I had had to wire a RJ45 as well..............
