Below is a diagram of Cat 5 wiring order. In the diagram below, the flat part of RJ-45 jack is facing you; cable going toward the ground; tab is on other side of plug. The tough wires to get into the jack are the Stripped Green and the Green wires, since they are farthest apart from each other. Take your time putting the wires in and make sure the ends of *all* the wires hit the clear wall of the plug so that they are directly under both teeth that push down into them.
