Greetings,
I moved into a new home that was prewired for Cable TV, Cat5 and phone. In the computer room, I am using the CAT5 connection for the Computer connection. I have the correct female jack to fit into the wall plate. It is a 110 Type Keystone Jack by DirectConnect. I also have the correct RJ-45 plug to use in the distribution panel. Now my question is what is the correct assignment of wire colors to the various pins on both ends. I have searched the net and find straight through, cross over and a few others. So I am confused as to how to make up the proper cable. I can tell you that our current wiring is set up in such a way that I can plug a phone plug into the cat5 jack on the wall and it works. So that is what I am trying to do.
Thanks in advance for your help!
