If you are only trying to capture network traffic between the machine running wireshark or tshark and other machines on the network you should be able to do this by capturing on the network interface through which the packets will be transmitted and received.
The ethernet protocol allows for bus star or tree topologies depending on the type of cables used and other factors. If you are only trying to capture network traffic between the machine running wireshark or tshark and other machines on the network you should be able to do this by capturing on the network interface through which the packets will be transmitted and received. Eiatia specifies rj 45 connectors properly called 8p8c iso 8877 for utp unshielded twisted pair cable.
Please be aware that modifying ethernet cables improperly may cause loss of network connectivity.
We can see from above diagram of utp cables that there are eight small wires in it these eight small wires are twisted in four pairs. Rj45 connectors have been used for phone and ethernet connections for a long time but their. That is why it is also known as twisted pair networking cable. When looking at the wire colors from left to right the wires.
