How to make a new RJ45 connector for G5 Pro (PoE Version)

[Aqara_PM_Donie]

Some users have reported that they damaged the RJ45 tail cable on the camera when installing the G5 Pro (PoE version). I have provided specific re-connection methods as follows:

1. The RJ45 tail cable of G5 Pro (PoE version) only has 6 internal wires, so you cannot directly connect it to a regular 8 wires network cable.
   

   

2. The following figure is a functional description of the 8 contacts of one RJ45 port for a regular PoE switch:
   

   

3. Please do not attempt to manually connect the 6-wire to 8-wire one by one (the consequence is that the connection impedance of the cable increases, the anti-interference ability decreases, and the data transmission efficiency is affected). The recommended solution is to reconnect the network cable through a connector, so what you need to do for the G5 Pro is rebuilting an RJ45 connector on the wire.
   

   

4. I demonstrated how to use RJ45 connectors to assemble each cable. In my case, contacts 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, and 7 had cables, while contacts 4 and 8 had no cables. After connecting to a PoE switch, the device worked normally.

Thank you; he last photo is the key info. It works; for simplicity: As seen from non-spring clip side of RJ45: 1 Orange, 2 Orange/White, 3 Green/White, 4 (-), 5 Red, 6 Green, 7 Black, 8 (-)

Just wanted to TY for posting this guide and it helped me restore by water damaged Aqara RJ plug back to fully working mode, albeit getting the wires back into the rj plug in the correct pins was incredibly difficult. I wouldlove to know how you easy/ hard you found it and if you good give any tips for future reference that would help.
Anyhow, thank you again!

Thank you for the detailed information. This information will be very helpful to me as well.

My suggestion is that after connecting the Ethernet cable, you need to keep the tail end of the cable which near the camera facing upwards, and the other end facing downwards (as shown in the picture below) for the best waterproof effect.
