Do You Still Need Crossover Ethernet Cables in 2025? - Cables and Kits - Learning Center
For a standard non-integrated RJ45 jack connecting to external magnetics, the standard Ethernet differential pairs (A, B, C, and D) map to the physical connector pin numbers as follows:
| Pin Number | Standard Signal Assignment | Pair Function (10/100/1000 Mbps) |
| 1 | TRRXA_P (Pair A - Positive) | Transmit / Receive |
| 2 | TRRXA_N (Pair A - Negative) | Transmit / Receive |
| 3 | TRRXB_P (Pair B - Positive) | Transmit / Receive |
| 4 | TRRXC_P (Pair C - Positive) | Bi-directional / PoE |
| 5 | TRRXC_N (Pair C - Negative) | Bi-directional / PoE |
| 6 | TRRXB_N (Pair B - Negative) | Transmit / Receive |
| 7 | TRRXD_P (Pair D - Positive) | Bi-directional / PoE |
| 8 | TRRXD_N (Pair D - Negative) | Bi-directional / PoE |
