HwB: Ethernet 10/100Base-T Straight Thru Cable

This cable will work with both 10Base-T and 100Base-TX and is used to connect a network interface card to a hub or network outlet. These cables are sometimes called "whips".

Name	Pin	Cable Color	Pin	Name
TX+	1	White/Orange	1	TX+
TX-	2	Orange	2	TX-

	4	Blue	4
	5	White/Blue	5
RX-	6	Green	6	RX-
	7	White/Brown	7
	8	Brown	8

Note: It's important that each pair is kept as a pair. TX+ & TX- must be in the pair, and RX+ & RX- must together in another pair. (Just as the table above shows).

Just for your information, this is how the pairs are named:

Pair	Pins	Common color
1	4 & 5	Blue
2	1 & 2	Orange
3	3 & 6	Green
4	7 & 8	Brown

The + side of each pair is called the "tip" and the - side is called the "ring", a reference to old telephone connectors.
