Re: KAT5, CAT5 + Clipsal

["Darren Baker" <Darren_Baker@xxxxxxx>]

Phil,

I wired up my first Clipsal CAT5e connector last week and had the
same problem. Whilst your RJ45 connector is wired correctly the
colour codings on the back of the Clipsal seem to be either wrong or
for a totally different standard. I worked it out eventually and
wrote the right configuration down but I don't have it with me at the
moment. When I get home I'll post what I found unless someone else
here beats me to it.

Regards,
Darren

stem from my inability to wire a Clipsal CAT5e connector, I wired up
a length of CAT5 with an RJ45 connector at one end and the clipsal
jobbie at the other, plugged my KAT 5 units in either end, managed to
get sound, buzz and wobbly "picture".  OK, lets attempt to fix
this
step by step I thought...

perfect picture and sound.  So I decided to chop one end of
the "known good" network cable off and wire it to the clipsal,
again
I get the same symptons buzz, sound and a wobbly picture.  After some
number of attempts to fix it and lacking a working internet
connection, I gave up.

incorrectly.  The RJ45 connector is wired, from Pin 1:
