➢ Pin 1 - white / orange stripe
➢ Pin 2 - orange
➢ Pin 3 - white / green stripe
➢ Pin 4 - blue
➢ Pin 5 - white / blue stripe

These cables can also be purchased pre-assembled from your local computer
store or big box retailer in varying lengths.
A sealed waterproof RJ-45 connector with strain relief is available from your OEM
or Skip-Line.
