568A or 568B?


Recommended Posts

I understand neither have an advantage over the other, just as long as both ends are wired the same.

For wiring a CAT6 patch panel at home, which standard is more common? I read somewhere that Australia prefer to use A over B.

What does the common stranded patch cable use?

B is US standard. doesn't matter so long as both ends are either wired with a or b standard.

it really doesn't matter as long as 1+2 are on one pair, 3+6 are on one pair, 4+5 are on one pair, and 7+8 are on the final pair. change the color as you wish, but those pairs need to stay together within the cable to get your speed. you can have blue on 1+2, brown on 3+6, green on 4+5, and orange on 7+8....it wouldn't be standard but would work just fine.
