DFF1 RJ45 to 6pin cable interface

Hi,

Santa brought me a "new" DFF1 to replace my BFF1 and I see the network port connections are different. I'm not using a network hub in this application. The BFF1 has a basic round 6pin network port the same as the vx2 network port. So that 6pin-6pin cable worked fine for my exiting BFF1. Power and transducer connect straight up and I assume the transducer cable connector includes both the depth and speed/temp as both came in before with the BFF1.

The DFF1 has a RJ45 network port and so I need to cut and mate up a network cable to the 6-pin cable. I cut the cable and see it only has 2 pairs of wires: yellow/green and black/white and shield.

Here is the diagram from the DFF1 Operators manual, but it's not as clear as it could be...

Which pins go from the RJ45 (B connected)go to which wires on the 6-pin cable?

I guessed right first time on the cable and connections. Now that never happens!! My DFF1 is operational and will get a sea trial tomorrow.
