Only the center 2 pins are important on that card. From what I
understand, it was cheaper to use the same back plates and RJ45 jacks as
the quad TE1 cards than it was to get new back plates and rj11 jacks. If
you want to make your own rj45 ends, just make sure you watch polarit
but just put the middle 2 cables in the middle 2 spots of the RJ45 and
crimp.
