Pin 1 = R1
Pin 2 = T1

Pin 7 = T
Pin 8 = R

Jumper pin 1 to pin 7
Jumper pin 2 to pin 8


Each pair works together as a transmit path or a receive path. A loop-back plug turns one PAIR back to the other. Gives the 1’s and 0’s a round trip ride. A loop-back.

Connecting tip to tip1 and ring to ring1 would create a short at the end of each pair. A pair could be tested that way but would be “dead-end” for any transmission tests.
