Fixing Ethernet Cable On Camera -- 6 wire ?

[RWDM3]

I have 3 older cameras (but they worked great, the ones that are still working are very usable)
SWAN NHD-885MSB
so water got into the connectors and burnt em
I cut the connector as see you can just throw a plug on the end and still connect it, however im confused
its not a standard cable that i usually wire
There is only 6 wires

GREEN
WHITE GREEN
ORANGE
WHITE ORANGE
WHITE RED
WHITE BLACK

how can i wire this to the standard ethernet format T-568B

Swann many times used a different wiring configuration. Your best bet is to match their wiring scheme to the new connector.

Thats good point
So i did strip it down, looks like 2 of the wires are - single from camera, but go into 2 spots on the ethernet end, whats easiest way to get 1 cable from camera into 2 spots in ethernet plug

from what i gather the pins are

1 - WHITE/ORANGE

2 - ORANGE

3 - WHITE/GREEN

4/5 - RED

6 - GREEN
7/8 - BLACK

I did a quick test and made a connector the following way
but didnt work (or pehaps camera is dead im not sure)
1 - WHITE/ORANGE

2 - ORANGE

3 - WHITE/GREEN

4 - EMPY

5 - RED

6 - GREEN

8 - BLACK

i dont understand this, so when i plug in a good camera into my sperry crimp n test
when i run the test on the camera (IP cam connected with ethernet cable to the tester
it shows
1-2
3-6
4-5
7-8

SHORT

i tried few ways of wiring the camera with the Cat 6 ksetonse module unshield connector
and nothing seems to work
but when i cut the original cable off, it looks like its wired as shown

1 - WHITE/ORANGE

2 - ORANGE

3 - WHITE/GREEN

4 - EMPY

5 - RED

6 - GREEN

8 - BLACK

If I understand what you wrote correctly, the tester is not meant to do what you're wanting it to. It is to test a patch cable, with the tester plugged on one end, and its remote plugged on the other end. It cannot test the cable hardwired to the camera.

This pinout looks totally logical, with the camera using standard wire colors. Many cameras do not use standard colors in the pigtail. The connections to pins 1,2,3,6 are standard 568B wiring. The camera supports both Mode A and Mode B POE. With mode A the data and power are both carried on pins 1,2,3,6, with 4,5,7,8 unused. With mode B, the plus power is carried on pins 4 and 5, and minus power on pins 7 and 8, so the black and red wire colors conform to standard DC wiring. Ideally the red would connect to both 4 and 5, and the black to 7 and 8, but connecting to just one pin each I guess would work just fine. If you're connecting to a POE switch you'll be using Mode A and the black/red wires are unused. With a POE injector, they are very used. If you're wanting to connect the black and red wires to 2 pins each you'll have to improvise something. At the point I think you're at I'd just plug it into a switch and see what happens. A good switch should tolerate a short circuit, should there be one.

As @tigerwillow1 suggested, when you have the camera connected to the cable :

It's seeing the ethernet transformers within the camera that are connected to the signal wire pairs as a short. The windings are about 1 ohm resistance.
