Pinout for RJ-45 for Polycom Soundstation
By Jesse | December 3, 2008
Someone in our office recently damaged the RJ-45 cable for our Polycom Soundstation. Because the jack was damaged I could not determine the order of the cables. After a call to polycom, we found the pinout information we needed – so I thought I would share, in case anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation:
With the RJ-45 prong pointing down the wires, from left to right are:
- Black
- Brown
- Red
- Orange
- Yellow
- Green
- Blue
- White
Then Crimp and test. I got this information directly from Polycom for use with the Polycom Soundstation. This information was not easy to get. They originally told me they could not provide the information and I would have to buy a power adapter. This is not true, just trim the cable and follow the above instructions.

Hi
Is it OK to use standard RJ45s on these cables do you think? I noticed that the Polycom originals have a small tab on the side which prevented me from putting into my test gear for ethernet cables.
Thanks for the info by the way.

Yeah I used an RJ-45 here to fix one- it worked fine.. I would assume that as long as the pin-out was correct you’d be fine. I wouldnt plug it in to anything with PoE though or you’ll probably destroy your phone.
It worked for me..

We had to do this because a clumsy staff member mangled the original jack with a chair and crushed it. the RJ-45 replacement worked great!

Is this the cable between the power supply and the soundstation? If so, is this a straight through cable (i.e. black goes to black on pin 1, brown goes to brown on pin 2, etc, etc) or if not – what pins do the colours go to on the other end of the cable? Thanks.

Hi,
I have a big problem with my soundstation. The power adapter is broken and I did not want to spend too much money.
Do you know witch is the power and witch is the phone wires in the RJ45 connection scheme?

No I’m not 100% sure.. but if you follow my wiring diagram it should fix the connector….

This is the cable that goes into the sound station…

My problem isn’t the connector but the power adapter….it don’t work anymore…
I have open the soundstation but I’m not able to find the power wires and the telephon wires…
Which power output have the power adapter?
Thanks
