Wiring Conventions
For ADSL connections, a cable requires one pair of wires. Each wire is
identified by different colors. For example, one wire might be red and the
other, red with white stripes. Also, an RJ-11 connector must be attached to
both ends of the cable.
Each wire pair must be attached to the RJ-11 connectors in a specific
orientation. The following figure illustrates how the pins on the RJ-11
connector are numbered. Be sure to hold the connectors in the same
orientation when attaching the wires to the pins.
