RJ-45 Straight Thru colours. The top view is looking at the RJ-45 bit where the copper pins are facing you and the click-in pin is on the opposite side.

The leftmost pin starts at 1 and the rightmost pin ends at 8. The most common sequence is 1. green-white 2. green 3. orange-white 4. blue 5. blue-white 6. orange 7. brown-white 8. brown. In the diagram there is no white but the hues of the colours are somewhat lighter.

The front view is diagrammed with the click-in pin facing upward, see the colours as if you had flipped the RJ-45 bit 90 degrees toward you from the top.

To have a straight through ethernet cable you have this colour combination on both ends of the cable. This is good for computer-switch links.
