Dear Tanveer,

The red is commonly referred to as "orange" and those four colors represent traditional color code of a category cable. Please visit our pin layout section for the cross connect layout you need. Making T568A on one end and T568B on the other makes for an Ethernet crossover cable.

Sincerely,
Dmitri Abaimov, RCDD
