Thank you for writing this guide. I just purchased these wall plates and found the directions as you put it “piss poor” also. You saved the day for me and eliminated a lot of trouble shooting for me I am sure. Thanks again!

A wire has to be hooked up wrong or you have a defective product somewhere.

Yep. By wiring one end according to the original document and then the other end according to what I wrote yesterday, you will create a cross over cable.

Thanks Machesked for the update.

I’m still confused. If I’m using Ethernet CAT5 cable to connect from the Wall plate to my computer. I would wire the wall plate as the same as the above. But for the other end of the Wall Plate wire I would wire as you mentioned below to connect this end to the router correct?
1. White/green
2. green
3. white/orange
4. blue
5. white/blue
6. orange
7. white/brown
8. brown

Thanks

This wrote this article to show how to wire two ethernet wall plates together, plus I forgot that not all people use switches in their house. You might need a cross over cable to connect your pc to your router, you could either rewire the ethernet wall plate, or the connector.

1. White/green
2. green
3. white/orange
4. blue
5. white/blue
6. orange
7. white/brown
8. brown

I have GE Network WallPlate connected to one end of the CAT5 and wired the same as the above screen shot. However, what i would like to know is how to wire the other end of the cable using the RJ45 jack (male) so that i can connect it to a Router?

I tried to wire the RJ35 jack male as follow:

White/Orange
Orange
White/Green
Blue,
White/Blue
Green
White/Brown
Brown

However it doesn’t seem to work. Can you please give me some ideas how to wire it on the male end?

thanks in advance
