10/100BaseT Networks

Hi,

Nope, Nope and Nope.

Here is a table showing the wiring...

There are 8 pins on an RJ-45 jack/connector. Standard ethernet uses pins 1,2,3, & 6. Pins 1&2 are a pair and pins 3&6 are a pair. One is used for transmit, the other for receive. Pairs 4&5 and 7&8 are either reserved for telephony applications or are used in a full duplex ethernet network.

Collision detection, etc. are a function of the protocol and have nothing to do with the wiring.

in 10/100 BaseT uses the TIA 568-A standard. there are two ways to wire a cable both will work just fine, basically its a channel A/B since only 4 of the 8 wires are used in most applications. 568-A and 568-B are wired differently but act the same for conductivity. for the ways to wire both of these got to lanshack.com

Collision detection/Error detection and speed regulation are built into to the protocol and the NICs. For an indepth look at 10/100BaseT Networks
