I bought the tool to crimp on the male ends of telephone wire. I am using the four conductor flat wire (black, red, green, yellow). Can someone give me a link that shows the pinout for an RJ11 4 contact end?

Thanks

I looked at several store bought cable.
These are 4 wire cables with RJ11 4 contact ends.
When holding the ends side by side with the same orientation,
the order of the wiring in the ends is reversed.
(B,R,G,Y) <> (Y,G,R,B)

This is confusing. It suggests that R/G are reversible and B/Y also.
Can someone explain this to me?

Thanks
