How-to make your own Ethernet "splitter"

Step 3 Punch down the other end to the RJ-45 keystone jacks

Take the other end of the cable, cut it to 9 inches and punch down the four pairs using the following wiring scheme:

• Jack #1:

1 White/Orange to pin 1keystone jack
2 Orange to pin 2 keystone jack
3 White/Green to pin 3 keystone jack
6 Green to pin 6 keystone jack

• Jack #2:

4 Blue to pin 2 keystone jack
5 White/Blue to pin 1 keystone jack
7 White/Brown to pin 3 keystone jack
8 Brown to pin 6 keystone jack

Once all the pairs are punched down, you can glue together side by side the two keystone jacks.

Hi
I realise this is a couple of years old, but I wondered if I might ask you to check the text against the pictire.
Specifically, assuming the top left connector in the pic is pin 1, the colours don't match the text.
Your input would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Phil

philhartree -> in the illustration of step 3, jack #1 will be on the right and jack #2 is in the left. The wiring is correct and match the text but it just depends on the type of keystone jack you have.

One Idea is to use a different color jack to indicate which computer is hooked up to which jack. If you use the same color at the other end it would make troubleshooting easier.
