I'd recommend anyone who might ever want to work on cables or wall jacks
for RJ-45 download and save this one. One part that was hard to find
elsewhere is a pin number reference. Many references say color, and
somewhere mention a pin number, but do not give any way to compare the
physical connector the the number itself. It is supposed to be a Belkin
guide, but it is a useful general guide on colors and pins.
