Hi, am to clean up my house and don't want all these etherwires on the
floor so i am running everything trought my attic, I have enought wire
to got to each room. I purchaced Philips Modular outlets wall plate
RJ45 type, and here is my question I know how to wire the cat 5 cable
but i can't seem to find a wiring scheme for the wall plate it has 8
coundutors Blue, Orange, black, red, greenish blue, yellow, brown and
white. They don't match up to the colors for the ether cable. I was
wondering if anybody know where i can find the scheme or if anybody
know what it, i would really appriciate it. Thanks


The colors are immaterial. While its useful to have the wire color match the
jack, as long as you are consistent, you can use any scheme you like.

That will work, especially for short runs. The caveat is that
you want to keep pairs together. So pins 1 and 2 should be a
twisted pair, as are 4 and 5, 3 and 6, and 7 and 8. The blue
pair should hit pins 4 and 5, orange on 3 and 6, green on 1
and 2, and brown on 7 and 8.

You will probably need an ohm meter to figure out the pin-out.
Or if you look closely, you can sometimes trace it out. The
worst case is you break one and do a autopsy.

The standard I like is 568B:

5 - blue/white
4 - blue
3 - green/white
6 - green
1 - orange/white
2 - orange
7 - brown/white
8 - brown

Once you start, do as the poster above suggests and always stick
to the same scheme.
