RJ-45

The RJ-45 connector is commonly used for network cabling and for telephony applications.  It's also used for serial connections in special cases.  Here's a look at it:

RJ-45 Connector


Pin out for Ethernet

Although used for a variety of purposes, the RJ-45 connector is probably most commonly used for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet connections.

Pin # Ethernet 10BASE-T
100BASE-TX

EIA/TIA 568A

EIA/TIA 568B or AT&T 258A

1 Transmit + White with green strip White with orange stripe
2 Transmit - Green with white stripe or solid green Orange with white stripe or solid orange
3 Receive + White with orange stripe White with green stripe
4 N/A Blue with white stripe or solid blue Blue with white stripe or solid blue
5 N/A White with blue stripe White with blue stripe
6 Receive - Orange with white stripe or solid orange Green with white stripe or solid green
7 N/A White with brown strip or solid brown White with brown stripe
8 N/A Brown with white stripe or solid brown. Brown with white stripe or solid brown

Because only two pairs of wires in the eight-pin RJ-45 connector are used to carry Ethernet signals, and both 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX use the same pins, a crossover cable made for one will also work with the other.

Also, please note that it is very important that a single pair be used for pins 3 and 6.  If one conductor from one pair is used for pin 3 and a conductor from another pair is used for pin 6, performance will degrade.  See the following figure.
