### MMJ official pin numbering

### Flip it and reverse it
This only valid when looking at a socket, not at a plug.

#### Flip it and reverse it

Note that because every DEC-423 MMJ cable is a crossover cable, the
functions associated with the pins swap position, as do the wire
colors. <!-- Swing your partner, Dosey-do! -->
