Everyone, hello!
So I'm building a PCB in my head right now, and I just wanted to quickly eliminate a thought I had in my mind.
When I add a RJ45 jack connector to my PCB board, there are (depending on how the connector is build, of course (with LED or not, etc)) normally 8 PINs for the 8 wires in the cat5/6 cable.
I put together this quick picture:
Is this correct? Do the numbers on the RJ45 jack connector correspond with those on my cat wire?

Not necessarily. You have to use datasheet for the connector, and create device in your EDA tool as per datasheet with proper symbol and package.
