Ethernet Cabling pinout, Colors and Rules

Ethernet cable is a 4 pairs differential cabling. We recommend to use the EIA/TIA 568A/B color rules as describes below. You must keep you wires twisted as much as possible. When using shielded or foiled cables, be sure to maintain contact between shield/Foiled and the shield of your RJ45.

AuviTran recommand to use NE8MC or NE8MC-1 ruggurized RJ45 connector from NEUTRIK® (www.neutrik.com) on your cables.
