Wires in loom of doom
now you added a bit to your first post you are getting warm
nopeInternal telephone cable
Sounds more like Cat 5.
In which case the question is what order into the RJ45 connector.
I did 2 of them yesterday so I know
But not in that order
But not in that order
Rob has the correct answer:
Cat5 cable colours in an RJ45 plug, for Network ethernet cables
Note this is the straight through and not crossover cable.
next puzzle.

I’m a structured cabling nerd I’m afraid. Well, lapsed on the Cat 5 these days.
My interest is fibre these days due to working in telecoms and helping bang out fibre to the home.

you can get these from B&Q,
the cheapest one will cost you less than £1,
but bulk buy 100 for less than £3
what are they?

Actually thinking about it now, you're right Pete. I'm going back to when I was a telephone engineer in the '80s, but yes they are all striped now.
You'll be pleased to know some elements of telecommunications from the 1980s survive even if the pair colours may have moved on. If you worked in exchanges you may remember things like AXE10 & UXD5s which are still out there! It's not all IP yet. But the Strowger & crossbar systems are long gone.Actually thinking about it now, you're right Pete. I'm going back to when I was a telephone engineer in the '80s, but yes they are all striped now.
