wire pair is identified by two different colors. Each wire pair must be

The RJ-45 Ethernet port on the TigerAccess Extended Ethernet CPE is
an MDI port, which means you must use a cross-over cable when
connecting to like devices (MDI to MDI). For connection to hubs or
switches that have MDI-X ports, a straight-through cable must be used. In
straight-through cable, pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 at one end of the cable are
