Strange that you have managed to get it wrong every time, then.



Demonstrably facually incorrect.
Not 'every time', just on that post, as I accept.

My original posts were correct.
I'll re-post it just for the avoidance of doubt.

I'd expect it to be:

1 Orange / White
2 Solid Orange
3 Green / White
4 Solid Blue
5 Blue / White
6 Solid Green
7 Brown / White
8 Solid Brown

( The Orange twisted pair may be swapped withthe Green twisted pair on some
installations, that's OK )

What's important it the twisted pairs.
One pair ( usually orange ) is used for pins 1+2.
Another pair ( usually green ) is used for pins 3+6.
This is critical.
The blue pair and brown pair are only used on gigabit and / or PoE systems,
but these are becoming commonplace, and should be wired up correctly too.
