Midi uses a 180 degree 5 pin Din plug. The cable is a shielded twisted pair. The shield is connected to pin 2 (the top pin) at both ends of the cable. The cable uses male plugs at both ends. The female has pin 2 to ground at the sending side, not at the receiving side.

Pin 1 used to be protective ground.
The shield should be connected (soldered) to the connector shell at both ends of the cable.

V35 used to be modem standard; A 48 kbps data signal was ASK modulated on a 60 kHz carrier, the lower sideband suppressed, resulting in a 60 ... 108 kHz bandwidth. Somehow V35 is now used as a name for this connecter.

Apparently T568A is recommended for new installations. I have never seen any though.
In case of STP / FTP the shield is connected to the connector shell.

Using cross cables may reverse the polarity of the power.
