abner 0 Posted June 27, 2014 The center two pins on the etnernet type jack connection on my lorex network camera model MCNB 2151 aka LNB 2151, http://www.lorextechnology.com/IP-cameras-and-IP-surveillance-camera-solutions/IP-camera-for-NVR/prod360011.p got fried. It was under warranty, sent it back, got a new one. A couple of weeks after my one year warranty expired a second camera failed with the same symptoms. I figured I'd just put a new RJ45 jack on, waterproof it well, be good to go. So I called up Lorex asking for the pin diagram for the jack. They said no because if customers knew the pin diagram then they would play with the jack and void their warranty. Yeah, really! So I tried to wire it the same as a patch cable only to discover the cable is not four twisted pair (green/greenwhite, brown/brownwhite, etc) but individual colors, brown, purple, yellow, green white, blue, grey, and orange. I sure don't want to access any corporate secrets so i'll sign a non disclosure agreement and pledge my first born son as security. Does anyone know which wire goes to which pin number?

jazzar 0 Posted June 29, 2014 if you have a working unit you could purchase a cheap cable tester from ebay or local supplier :- hook the end unit at one end of the cable , and connect the tester to the other end switch on and it will indicate pin 1 near connected to pin 1 far, pin 2 near connected to pin 2 far etc through the 8 pins. similar to :- https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=cable+data+tester&newwindow=1&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=uJKwU8XpE4fIOeWmgKAL&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1600&bih=775#facrc=_&imgdii=_&imgrc=kJbJ4782AGjnKM%253A%3B3OBg8toJ6h-NBM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.vpi.us%252Fvpi%252Fimages%252Fitems%252Ftester-cable.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.acidofire.com%252F2008_08_01_archive.html%3B300%3B277 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
abner 0 Posted June 30, 2014 Might have worked but the female jack was destroyed while tracing the pins (the pin connections are in a solid piece of plastic, not possible to trace the wire to the pin) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

csherrod 0 Posted November 28, 2014 I know this is an old thread, but I had a similar problem and had to tear apart the old female connector to figure out the pin diagram. I wanted to post this to help anyone else in the future who has a similar issue. I'm not sure if this will work for all Lorex IP cameras, but it worked for mine: Lored HD IP Camera for an NVR system - pin diagram: Lorex Connector - Cat 6 Connector Orange - Stripe Orange Yellow - Orange Green - Stripe Green Purple - Blue Gray - Stripe Blue Blue - Green Brown - Stripe Brown White - Brown Hope it helps someone!

tomcctv 190 Posted December 5, 2016 Hi. Black and red are external power Rj 45 only uses 8 ....so follow above diagram Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emptech 0 Posted December 18, 2016 I just had to replace the connector on my FLIR dome camera, they make Lorex, claim Lorex is a lower quality camera than FLIR. I just posted the colors and how they transformed to the RJ45 connector. The previous posts may not be accurate nor do they specify which 468 standard they are using, A or B. The previous posts don't accurately show the colors of the wires for external 12 volts either. Search for my post, look for water damage in flir camera or rj45. If you can't find it, send a message to me and I'll give you a copy of the info from reverse engineering. Jim emptech at surewest.net Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emptech 0 Posted December 18, 2016 You are right, I used the 568A instead of the current B. In my case, as long as both ends were A, that's ok, A and B of course, would be a cross-over cable. Thanks for reminding me. It was late last night when I made the repair.

t0nkamedic 0 Posted July 16, 2017 I am having the same issue. I have a Lorex LNB4321-C that only has 6 wires blue, orange, grey, brown, yellow, purple I am assuming that I would skip one pair in the wiring diagram. However, none of the colors match what would make up one pair to exclude. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gordiesmith3 0 Posted August 7, 2017 i have two Lorex IP cameras (model # MCNB3143) with damaged cat5E sockets. When i cut of the female sockets i discovered that there were only six cat5e wires instead of the four twisted pairs. I need to install new sockets but don't know the wiring diagram. The six wires on the camera are orange, yellow, green, purple, gray, blue, and brown. The new sockets are for a T586A wiring system (Canada). Can anyone help me?
