Hello  (Srry for my bad english, I am Mexican)

I have a terminal Model M (1392595) with a RJ45 connector (8p5c), and i would like to make a Soarers conector because i really love this keyboard. The rpoblem i have is that i dont know wich cable is what in the RJ45 connector, the cables are from left to right, looking at the connector with it pointing up, and the clip away from myself:

-Nothing
-Nothing
-Red
-White
-Yellow
-Black
-Black
-Nothing

If you can help me telling me wich cable is for the 5v, ground,etc..
Thanks and have a nice day

You could buy this if you wanted, in case you wanted to save yourself the trouble.
