568-A Diagram |

Notes for wiring diagrams above:
1. For patch cables,
568-B wiring is by far, the most common method.
2.
There is
no difference
in connectivity between 568B and 568A cables. Either wiring should
work fine on any system*. (*see notes below)
3. For
a straight through cable, wire both ends identical.
4.
For a
crossover cable,
wire one end 568A and the other end 568B.
5. Do not confuse pair numbers with pin numbers. A pair number is
used for reference only (eg: 10BaseT Ethernet uses pairs 2 & 3).
The pin numbers indicate actual physical locations on the plug and
jack.
