Hi, I have a sannce poe camera that I need to replace the poe connector for.

I can't figure out the wiring for the rj45 connector. Can you help?
I have 6 wires, orange, yellow, green, purple, white and brown. Thanks

Is the existing connector damaged in a manner that a multimeter/ohmmeter wouldn't work to determine the pinout?

Thanks @MarkWoodward123

Indeed Sannce / Annke has sold some questionable products in the past. ( note, I'm documenting this so that others can more easily find it on a search )

Your particular model: sannce i61dx mini-bullet security camera

Pulls up, as an example:
SANNCE 8CH 1080P HD POE CCTV Security System NVR & 4 X Bullet Cameras - I61DX
SANNCE: SANNCE 8CH 1080P HD POE CCTV Security System NVR & 4 x Bullet Cameras - I61DX/NVR Security System

The good news, is that the spec sheets show that it does look like it meets a PoE spec:
Operating Power DC12V;PoE (802.3af)

Do you still have the RJ45 plug end? Perhaps a good close up of that showing the color of the wires going into the plug would be helpful, we can then use @TonyR post to determine which color maps to which pin.
 
Do you mean this or me try and open up the case?

Orient what is left of the receptacle so the terminal positions agree with the previous illustration showing position 1 - 8 then determine what color(s) go to which pin.

@MarkWoodward123 Looks like you're making some good progress

Remember to test the camera if it is still working, as it appears something may have shorted out.

I would jig up a RJ45 keystone and some wires from a length of Cat5e/6 to setup a test rig.

Definitely share your results here.

Ok so done some whittling and pin 1 looks white and the rest in order as of pic but I only have 6 wires for 8 pins..

Ok, bit more.. @mat200 unfortunately no idea how to set up a test rig etc and no multimeter.. so am going to have to try and hook the new rj45 connector to another cameras network cable and see if it works. I saw in a hikvision article something about common cables (looked like the same cable looped through two connectors) so I presume maybe something like that needed here. Any guesses now which wires go to which numbers on my rj45?

In case anyone needs in future!
Trim the excess wire from those connections to insure highest data rates.
Leave just a tiny stub on the outside of each connector (enough to keep it locked in the connector.)
Excess wiring acts like a broadcast antenna and can lower your data rate with interference.
