So my wife's job in a super small town is getting more cameras from another branch that shut down. Their maintenance technician cut the attached network cables and the company they use to hook the cameras up said the 1 inch end isn't what they can work with. I know they are POE RJ-45. Anyone know the which version of RJ-45 that i can use to re-terminate the cables on the punch down block on the motherboard? If I swap out the cables, the business will have them install it other wise they miss out on having extra cameras. Looking online im only seeing "RJ45 10 Base T/100 Base T male end network cable POE"

FWIW, I wouldn't pay him a compliment by calling him a "maintenance technician"....I think "unemployed person" would be more fitting.
Yeah I definitely agree, seeing the pinout diagram is awesome, that makes it sooo much easier. searching amazon I see my old crimping and punch down tools from 20 years ago are so antiquated lol. time to upgrade. I planned on running some cat cables for my new to me house anyways. Thanks again for the replies.FWIW, I wouldn't pay him a compliment by calling him a "maintenance technician"....I think "unemployed person" would be more fitting.
In case your brain is as foggy as mine of stuff from 20 years ago, here's the pin numbers of a male RJ-45. Of course should you elect to punch the existing pigtail down to a female keystone, both colors assigned to T-568A and T-568B are printed on the keystone.
Most new (and improved) crimpers also have it printed on the side of the tool.

I'm amazed to see a punch down terminal on the PCB inside the camera.
Looks like this original/current cable is solid core Ethernet.

Me too but at least it had an impressive, heavy duty clamp to relieve any mechanical stress on those insulation displacement contacts.
