Most jacks come labeled with color coded wiring diagrams for either TA, TB or both. Make sure you end up with the correct one. Generally all fixed wiring should be run as straight through. Some ethernet interfaces can cross and un-cross a cable automatically as needed, a handy feature.
How to wire Ethernet Patch Cables: Strip off about 2 inches of the ethernet cable sheath. Untwist the pairs - don't untwist them beyond what you have exposed, the more untwisted cable you have the worse the problems you can run into. Align the colored wires according to the wiring diagrams above. Insert the wires into the RJ45 plug - make sure each wire is fully inserted to the front of the RJ45 plug and in the correct order.
Crimp the RJ45 plug with the crimper tool. Verify the wires ended up the right order and that the wires extend to the front of the RJ45 plug and make good contact with the metal contacts in the RJ45 plug Cut the ethernet cable to length - make sure it is more than long enough for your needs.
Repeat the above steps for the second RJ45 plug. How to wire fixed Ethernet Cables: Run the full length of ethernet cable in place, from endpoint to endpoint, making sure to leave excess. At one end, cut the wire to length leaving enough length to work, but not too much excess. Strip off about 2 inches of the ethernet cable sheath. Align each of the colored wires according to the layout of the jack.
Use the punch down tool to insert each wire into the jack. Repeat the above steps for the second RJ45 jack. If an ethernet cable tester is available, use it to verify the proper connectivity of the cable. That should be it, if your ethernet cable doesn't turn out, look closely at each end and see if you can find the problem. Often a wire ended up in the wrong place or one of the wires is making no contact or poor contact.
Also double check the color coding to verify it is correct. Faster requires 4 pairs 8 wires. Power over Ethernet requires more than 2 pairs usually.
Yes, you can make this cable work, but you are unlikely to get good performance, particularly if you try and run faster than 10Mbps. I would not use this cable if I could figure a way around it. Basic Ethernet only requires 2 pair to function. You can get jacks that don't require special tools to terminate example..
The only other thing I would do is force the NICs and switch ports to 10Mbps in order to minimize problems. If at all possible, get good CAT5e cable and have it installed by pros. I am not a big fan of Yahoo answers, but it was quick and easy. EDIT - I would add that retracile us right, but if its rated for telephone it will prob work fine. I have run more CAT5 that I care to remember through ceilings, under floors If I later discovered that it wasnt the correct wire, but I could make it work I would have MADE it work.

There are four twisted pairs of wires inside every Ethernet cable. An ethernet cable wiring diagram will show that only two of these pairs are actively used in the transmission of data. In addition to having the wires in a different pinout configuration, the TB style cable reverses the transmission and receiving pairs.
It transmits through the Orange wires and receives data through the Green pair. Ethernet cables are wired in a specific way and the internal wires conform to an Ethernet cable color code. There are 8 wires inside an Ethernet cable. They are twisted into four pairs of wires that follow the color code for Ethernet cables.
A pair will consist of a solidly colored cable and a white cable with a stripe of the solid color. In some cases, there is no stripe so the only way to tell which white wire you are handling is to determine the color of the solid wire in the pair.
There are two distinct color codes for Ethernet cables. The TB scheme is the standard for most Ethernet use in the United States, especially for business purposes. TA is the standard followed by most European and Pacific nations as well as the United States government. Here are the standard ethernet cable wiring colors and associated RJ45 pinout numbers for the two color schemes for straight-through Ethernet cables. We will discuss the meaning of the Ethernet cable colors below when we look at the functionality of the twisted pairs.
Ethernet crossover cable wiring is different since it will connect two computers rather than a computer to a network. Here is an example of how a TB crossover cable is internally wired. A crossover Ethernet cable has different wiring at the two ends of the cable. This is why they are called crossover cables.
Here are the wire colors and pinouts for the 2 ends of a crossover cable. Ethernet cables are useless without connectors to attach them to switches, routers or network hubs. The RJ45 plug is an eight position, eight contact 8P8C connector. It has 8 locations spaced around 1mm apart. The Ethernet cable wires are inserted into the connector by using a special cable crimping tool.
Ethernet cables and the RJ45 connectors need to be crimped into the proper wiring pattern in order to function correctly.
