Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Straight Thru
Wiring scheme: EIA/TIA 568B
This cable will work with 10Base-T, 100Base-TX, 100VG-Anylan
and 1000Base-T and is used to connect a network interface
card to a hub or network outlet. These cables are sometimes
called "whips".
Note: While 10BaseT and 100Base-TX only uses two pairs,
please do connect all pairs since 100VG-Anylan and 1000BaseT
uses all of them, and save yourself some future debugging
:)

Note:
It's important that each pair is kept as a pair. TX+ &
TX- must be in the pair, and RX+ & RX- must together
in another pair. (Just as the table above shows).
Just for your information, this is how the pairs are
named:

The + side of each pair is called
the "tip" and the - side is called the "ring",
a reference to old telephone connectors.
