Examine the sequence of colored wires to determine the type of RJ-45 cable, as follows:
•Straight-through—The colored wires are in the same sequence at both ends of the cable.
•Crossover—The first (far left) colored wire at one end of the cable is the third colored wire at the other end of the cable.
Table 1-5lists the rolled (console) cable pinouts for RJ-45.
