Cat5 ethernet cable wiring order.
For a standard straight through cable repeat all steps and wire color order on the other end of cable.
This cat5 wiring diagram and crossover cable diagram will teach an installer how to correctly assemble a cat 5 cable with rj45 connectors for regular network cables as well as crossover cables.
Rj45 pinout diagram shows wiring for standard t568b t568a and crossover cable.
Cat5e cables can support 1000base t transmission up to 100 m which meet the requirements of various applications in our home office and data center.
Note the maximum cable length of cat 5 cat 5e or cat 6 ethernet cable is 328 feet or 100 meters.
To make a crossover patch cable you should wire one end 568b and the other end 568a.

The rj 11 568 a similarity is beneficial because both phone and network cables will be terminated with an rj 45 connector cat 5 will be used for both services in the wiring closet before identifing each cable.
In this article i will explain cat 5 color code order cat5 wiring diagram and step by step how to crimp cat5 ethernet cable standreds a b crossover or straight throght in order to use utp unshielded twisted pair cables you have to terminate both ends of cable across an rj45 registered jack 45 connector.
Although designed for cat 5e 6 not all cabling will be usable at the full range especially for 5gbase t on cat 5e.
Some cat 5e may support operation at reduced.
If both cable types are wired to the same standard testing will be easier with less re crimping.

Category 5 cable cat 5 is a twisted pair cable for computer networks since 2001 the variant commonly in use is the category 5e specification cat 5e the cable standard provides performance of up to 100 mhz and is suitable for most varieties of ethernet over twisted pair up to 1000base t gigabit ethernet.
Specifically switch the solid.
Cat 5 is also used to carry other signals such as telephony and video.
For a cross over cable the other end will have a different color order as shown by the crossover picture above.
Reduced range when used with cat 6 55m cat 6a supports the full 100m range.
Another way of remembering the color coding is to simply switch the green set of wires in place with the orange set of wires.
Network cables like cat5 cat5e and cat6 are widely used in our network.
