Each RJ45 connector has eight pins, which means an RJ45 cable contains eight
separate wires. If you look closely at the end of an Ethernet cable, you can
actually see the eight wires, which are each a different color. Four of them are
solid colors, while the other four are striped.
RJ45 cables can be wired in two different ways. One version is called T-568A and
the other is T-568B.
TWISTED PAIR CABLE
A twisted pair cable is a type of cable
made by putting two separate insulated
wires together in a twisted pattern and
running them parallel to each other.
This type of cable is widely used in
different kinds of data and voice
infrastructures.
CRIMPING TOOL
a device used to conjoin two pieces of
metal by deforming one or both of
them in a way that causes them to hold
each other. The result of the tool's work
is called a crimp.
A good example of crimping is the
process of affixing a connector to the
end of a cable. For instance, network
cables and phone cables are created
using a crimping tool (shown below) to
join the RJ-45 and RJ-11 connectors to
the both ends of either phone or CAT5
or CAT5e cable.
NETWORK TESTER
a device that is used to test the strength
and connectivity of a particular type of
cable or other wired assemblies.
A cable tester can test whether a cable
or wire is set up properly, connected
correctly, and the communication
strength between the source and
destination.
ETHERNET CABLING STANDARDS
However, it’s advised not to mix different color schemes because this
may cause confusion.
CONCLUSION
Straight through and crossover cables are wired differently from each
other. One easy way to tell what you have is to look at the order of the
colored wires inside the RJ45 connector. If the order of the wires is the
same on both ends, then you have a straight through cable. If not, then
it’s most likely a crossover cable or was wired wrong. At present, the
straight through cable is much more popular than crossover cable and
is widely used by people.
