I have now connected and tested the supplied cable and can answer my own original question (should others need to know). The Lorex supplied cables (purchased November 2022) are wired to the T-568B standard.

Thanks all. I had picked up on the sage advice on sealing the connection from the earlier post. Dielectric grease already on order from Amazon and already self-fusing tape. All this is so much more useful advice than I had bargained for with my original request! Thanks once again.

As below:

No, I have installed an RJ25 socket unit in the back of a cupboard. The faceplate allows four sockets to be installed. Unless, of course, that is what you meant. Unfortunately the boat has sailed in terms of the cable used and already installed. With UK building construction, there are not...

I left the waterproof gland on the external end of the cable, so would rather not cut anything off at that end. Note the point about matching the twisted pairs. I am gradually learning not to assume anything with Lorex kit!

Thanks for all the posts! I think I am going to test wire the cut end as per T-568A standard, get an Ethernet cable tester then test for continuity and corresponding pin outs. Seems that Dahua use that standard (as per the posts you provided), so a promising place to start.

New (and inexperienced) user here, looking for some advice. I have purchased a Lorex IP Ultra HD camera system and NVR for home installation. I took the chance whilst having an extension built to route the Lorex supplied cabling through the walls/floors of my house. However, to do this I had...
