iImage Information

Take the striped end of the ethernet cable and punch each wire into slot 1,2,3 and 6 of the Ethernet jack, using a punch tool or a narrow knife. I would hesitate to go by the colors marked on the ethernet jack. To ensure that the wire colors are correct on both the Ethernet jack and the Ethernet plug. Plug the other end of the Ethernet cable into the jack. This will help you see what color wire goes where on the Ethernet jack. Slots 4,5,7,8 should be empty. Do the same thing to the other ethernet jack and ethernet cable.
