Re: Basic question - how to connect cat5

You can find a wiring diagram for the plug here:
http://www.lhup.edu/~sdavis/rj45.htm

The 2nd diagram is for making a crossover cable, and unless you need one,
ignore it.

But the patch panel & ports should both have come with destructions on
how
to wire them? If not, they might have numbers on them, these correspond to
the numbers in the above diagram.

Subject: [ukha_d] Basic question - how to connect cat5


All,

Please excuse this very basic question.

We are in the process of building our house and I have laid plenty of cat5
to each room. Now I want to connect the cables to a patch panel in my study
at one end and to rj45 sockets in each room at the other.

My problem is that I am not sure how the individual strands should be laid
out for each connection.

Is there an idiots guide to cabling with cat5 anywhere?

Regards

Alex Durkin
