There are 2 wiring standards for cat5/5e/6 cable into RJ45 style modular plugs: EIA/TIA-568A and EIA/TIA-568B (aka T568A and T568B). They are slightly different, and both work to gigabit speeds. You can mix them, but in a data center, for example, they will try to stick with 1 or the other.
For my station, I use shielded cat6 with Molex cat6 shielded RJ45 modular plugs compatible with the Neutrik etherCon series cable ends. It can be a bit of a pain getting the loading bar for the modular plugs installed properly, but once put together, they work great. 73, Byron N6NUL On Sunday, May 1, 2016, Michael Blake <k9...@mac.com> wrote: > Those specific connections are exactly what "RJ45" describe. > -- - Northern California Contest Club - CU in the Cal QSO Party 1-2 Oct 2016 - www.cqp.org ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
