Cat5 Wiring

[Ryan.g]

Howdy

Would the Staff cleaner on here be able to help me

Just sorting the pinouts for the MR and could you possibaly help with the pinouts for the cat5 wiring. Totally forget how we did it on the supra

Here is a diagram on the cat5 pins to help explain which pins on the s6 go to which pins on the RJ45 connector

Standard Ethernet wiring is :

Pin 1 - Transmit + - Goes to Receive + on Solaris
Pin 2 - Transmit - - Goes to Receive - on Solaris
Pin 3 - Receive + - Goes to Transmit + on Solaris
Pin 6 - Receive - - Goes to Transmit - on Solaris

In effect you're making a crossover cable to be able to plug straight into a PC.

Don't forget that you needs pairs on 1&2 and 3&6 !

Hope this helps,

Pat.

Edit : Typo (Pin 6 read Pin 4 previously)

Not wishing to sound stupid Pat but you listed Pins 1 to 4 above and said use pins 1&2 and 3&6 or am I missing something.

Should 3&4 be 3&6?

Should 3&4 be 3&6?

Yes. Typo. My bad! I will edit the above so that others that look don't end up wiring it wrong.

Cheers,

Pat.
