LAN Wiring & Pinouts

ZyTrax has a good guide on wiring 10base-T, 100base-TX/T4, 1000base-T networks. You can use this for reference in building your wired home/office network. The guide focuses on Crossed/Straight cables, Category 5 color coding, and RJ45 connector pin numbering.

There is NOTHING more annoying than spending 30 minutes debugging a network problem to find it was the cable. Badly made or non-standard cabling is a foolish thing to spend time on - do it once and do it right. This guide may help you to forget cabling problems and spend time doing really useful things - like pondering the meaning of life! [ZyTrax]
