Do you still have the connector you cut off? if so just go off of that.

RJ-45 only utilizes 8 strands of cable where this is 12, are you sure the end of that cable was RJ-45 and not something else that's proprietary?

Have you considered how you're actually going to fit the connector when normal tools will only do 8 pins?
