IKEA uses RJ45 as the controller connector. Since there are only UP and DOWN directions, they utilize only 3 out of the 8 cables. These cables are orange for down, white/blue for up, and brown for ground. Connecting orange and brown would make the table go down, while connecting white/blue and brown would make the table go up.
