the interface.
8.5.5 Interface Connection Cable
I. Ethernet cable
The 1GBE/2GBE module uses a category-5 twisted-pair cable with RJ-45 connectors
(see Figure 8-13). Pins 1 and 2 of the connectors are for transmitting data, and Pins 3
and 6 are for receiving data.

II. Making an Ethernet cable
To make an Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors using a category-5 twisted-pair cable,
refer to Figure 8-14. A category-5 twisted-pair cable is composed of eight wires that are
identified and grouped by colors of the outer insulator. Usually a solid color wire and a
white/solid color wire are organized in pairs. But sometimes, wires are also paired by
color coded points.
