Wiring KATT-RJLP Cat5e connector?

[JohnV85]

Hi,

I purchased a couple Cat5e faceplates, which I assumed would be fairly straightforward to fit.

They are Molex branded (WNC-00007-02) and include a KATT-RJLP connector for the Cat5e cable to terminate.

The connector has 4 colours (blue, brown, green and orange) marked, but it is not apparent how these relate to the solid colour vs. white and colour wires. I've searched via google, but can't shed any light definitively on which pins are which.

Any ideas or information would be greatly received.

Thanks.

Looks like this would only support 100Mbps. To utilise gigabit networking you require all 4 pairs. 100Mbps only uses 2 pairs. Here is a good link here - http://pinouts.ru/NetworkCables/ethernet_10_100_1000_pinout.shtml

Well the Molex brand item you refer to is marked for 568B wiring which you will find on the internet. I can see the 8 wire slots so it looks OK from that point of view, but only solid colour visible in the photo in the middle of each pair. Closer examination should reveal the slot above or below the colour is for solid and other for the stripe version. Actual switchover of terminals you see on a plug would be done internally in the socket so you only need to straddle each solid colour with the associated pair. Internal wiring would suit 568B wired plugs.

If the pin numbering is on the moulding it will help, just make sure you use 568B wiring both ends of the cable

Sorted. Thanks.
