# Connection Information

The Manifold 5S uses [Blue Robotics standard](https://bluerobotics.com/learn/wl-connector-standard/) pinouts whenever possible.

{% hint style="info" %}
The pinouts of serial, USB, and I2C are incompatible with Ethernet connections. Plugging an Ethernet cable into a serial, USB, or I2C connector will directly short +5V to ground. Don't do it!
