  5. Push the cables into the RJ45 Plug

Cat5 568-A Type Wiring Diagram

The most common use of this convention would be use a Type A & and a Type B connector to make a cross over cable.

2. Types of CAT5 Cable

  • The most commonly used cat5 cable is UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) cable. This is suitable for homes and offices
  • A more expensive option is to use FTP (Foil shielded Twisted Pair) cable
