For making a standard cat 5 cable, you'll want to arrange the color-coded wires in the same order on both ends. It actually doesn't matter which order you put the colors in, as long as it's the same on both ends.
What is the color sequence for cat5 cable?
The four wire pairs in a CAT-5 cable are distinguished by the color of their insulation. The four colors are (in order) blue, orange, green and brown. Thus, when refering to the "second pair" of wires, it is the orange pair.

How can I remember RJ45 color code?
- ORANGE! (Remember, in each colored pair, striped comes first.)
- SPLIT GREEN! (Hey! The green pair isn't a pair anymore. It's split!)
- REVERSE THE BLUE! (Hey! The solid wire comes before the striped. It's reversed!)
- BROWN! (Brown is always last and follows our original rules above.)
How do you arrange ethernet colors?
Another way of remembering the color coding is to simply switch the Green set of wires in place with the Orange set of wires. Specifically, switch the solid Green (G) with the solid Orange, and switch the green/white with the orange/white.
What order do ethernet wires go in?
Moving from left to right, arrange the wires in a flat, side-by-side ribbon formation, placing them in the following order: white/orange, solid orange, white/green, solid blue, white/blue, solid green, white/brown, solid brown.
Does the direction of an ethernet cable matter?
He and I both agree that "electrically" the order of your Ethernet patch cable wiring shouldn't matter, as long as you're consistent. If you chose some crazy wire color pattern, who cares, as long as it was the same.Oct 19, 2004
Why are Ethernet cables different colors?
For example, with the Department of Defense (DoD), the government uses different colors of ethernet cords in order to assign a given level of classification for the data being transmitted within the cable e.g. yellow for top secret, red for mid-level, and blue generally for unclassified data.Jul 7, 2020

How do you identify RJ45?
Look at the RJ45 connector on a cable, holding the flat underside toward you. On the left is pin 1. For Ethernet use, the straight through configuration is what you're likely to see, in TIA-568B arrangement: Orange stripe.
Does Ethernet use all wires?
Usually a typical ethernet network cable is made-up of 4 pairs, or 8 wires in total. Normally 10Mbps or 100Mbps ethernet only uses 4 of those 8 wires, or 2 pairs. But some older network cards needed all 4 pairs for full-duplex connections, as in 100TX4.
How many wires does an Ethernet cable use?
There are four pairs of wires in an Ethernet cable, and an Ethernet connector (8P8C) has eight pin slots. Each pin is identified by a number, starting from left to right, with the clip facing away from you. The two standards for wiring Ethernet cables are T568A and T568B.Aug 4, 2011
Do I need all 8 wires for PoE?
The most important of these is 802.3af and 802.3at, or Power over Ethernet. PoE uses wires 4, 5, 7, and 8. Add to that wires 1, 2, 3, and 6 used by Ethernet and you have all 8 wires in use.
