Then it will be wired wrong. If the cable trails to the left, with the
pins on the right, then pin 1 will be the farthest away and pin 8 closest
to you.
I just pulled an Anixter cable catalog and the pin 1 location is as I
described. Another way to look at it is to visualize a RJ45 wall plate,
tab down. Pin 1 is to the left. Now plug in the RJ45 connector and you
can see where pin 1 is.
BTW, if you hold the cable as you describe, you pretty much block the
connector :-)
