So basically, there are two different types of CAT5 ethernet cable. Both have 8 little wires inside, however the position of those wires determines which one you should cut while constructing a lag switch.

The Pin Positions are as Follows:

WHAT THIS MEANS:

Simply look at what color wire is in pin #2.

If the wires in your cable are setup like the T568A configuration (the green wire is in Pin 2), then you should use the GREEN WIRE.

If they are setup like the T568B configuration (the orange wire is in Pin 2), then you should use the ORANGE WIRE.

thanks very much for this !!

Why is mine "pin 2" the white and brown?

I tried this and the wire #2 is the solid orange....

BUT if i try to lag, i get disconnected, so i think this could be wrong. I did it right.

Should i try it with the grenn one?

Sry i don´t know this.
I also tried the green one, it´s the same.

But today i read : PS3 settings to 10base-T full duplex
i think that was my error!?

i always cut the green one lol and it always workd for me so i guess i know which wire i have now

i cut orange and never ever had issues using it but ppl cut others like green too
