Question re POE cabling

[SB1!]

Hi there. I need some help please. I have an Annke four camera POE system. One of the cameras stopped working. This was because the pins on the cat5e male plug and the contacts in the cat5e female socket corroded due to water getting into the plastic housing that covers the connection. I had assumed that I could just cut the plug and socket off and the coloured wires inside would match so that I could just connect them and securely tape them individually.

However, when I cut the female cat5e socket off the camera the wires are different colours. Also there are six wires from the camera (inside the white plastic sheathing) and eight wires (four pairs) of wires in the cat5e cable.

Can someone please tell me which camera wires I connect to which cat5e wires? I do not want to buy a new camera as there is nothing wrong with it. I want to be able to fix this myself. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks

Can you test continuity to the pins via what’s left attached to the socket?

Hi, thanks for your message. Unfortunately I do not understand how to do that. There is no socket left. I had to cut both the plug and the socket as the metal contacts had corroded
