RJ45 to Socket wiring

TinCool

I've had a few Ethernet wall sockets wired up in the house by a guy who knows what he is doing. What I need to do now is to stick an RJ45 connector on the opposite end of the wall socket cable which will then be plugged in to a switch. I've tried a couple of wire configurations but I'm obviously doing something wrong.

What should the wiring configuration for the RJ45 plug end ?

There is a standard RJ45 cable ( i know ,there are another 2,3..but what are the chances of getting them installed in your house !?? ).
If u've tried a cable from a local shop,normal straight thorugh RJ45,then i suggest going back to the guy that knew what is doing and ask for his assistance !
Could be his "known" cabling/termination of those RJ45 ends...

I think you may have misunderstood. I'll try to be more specific.

PC --> network cable --> ethernet wall socket --> network cable --> "RJ45 plug" --> Switch --> network cable --> Router.

The "RJ45" plug is the bit I need to wire up to the end of the ethernet cable the other end of which is already wired up to the ethernet wall socket.

Try "B" type first as this would / should have been the wiring standard he used.
Best to check by unscrewing and checking / redoing the punch downs if necessary.

Cheers Nelbert, I'll give that setup a bash tomorrow.
