I am not a cable guru, but it was my understanding that pins 1-2 3-6 4-5 7-8
were the wire pairs. I also don't know if the wire colors are standard as to
the pin assignment, but a wire pair consists of a color and the same color
with a stripe. Modifying the list provided by Marv and adjusting it to the
proper pin pairs would give us this:

white & orange
orange
white & blue
white & green
green
blue
white & brown
brown

If my understanding is wrong, someone please correct me so I don't teach
others the wrong way.

If this is a certified CAT5 cable (category 5) which has four twisted pairs
of 24 gauge wire then from the wire insertion end with the connecting pins
visible (up) the colors should be from left to right

white & orange
orange
white & blue
blue
white & green
green
white & brown
brown

These connection are the same on both ends of the cable.
