FIGURE QS–1: Pin Layout for a RJ45 Ethernet Straight-through Cable

The cable itself consists of four pairs of wires terminated in RJ45 connectors. The maximum permitted cable length is 100 meters. The cable pin connections can be one of two configurations. The first is called a "straight-through" cable and the second is called either a "crossover" or a "patch" cable. Whether the cable is straight-through or crossover as per standard* each of the wires within the cable has the following color code:

For the first twisted wire pair or wire pair #1: one wire is White with Blue bands while the other wire is Blue.

For the second twisted wire pair one wire is White with orange bands while the other wire is orange.

The third twisted wire pair #3 consists of a white wire with green bands and a second wire that is green.

The final wire pair, wire pair #4 consists of a white wire with brown bands while the other wire is Brown.
