Wanted to ask before I either changed everything or keep it the same. I have multiple cat5e runs in my house. The ones I wired are the 568B standard. The ones that the builder did before I bought the house are 586A standard. My question silly as it is...
Most patch panel cables are 568B. Will I have any issues plugging a normal patch panel 568B cable into the patch panel that have some wired as 568b and 568a?
IE: Each outlet has two rj45 ports. One is wired 568A, the other beside is 568B. Those two go all the way down to my network closet which I have wired into a patch panel. Again, same wiring at each end so the 568A is that on both ends, and 568B is that on both ends of the cable (not mix matched). If I needed to run a patch panel cable from one port that was wired 568A to a 568B port using the standard 568B patch panel will there be any issues, IE: no communication on that line?
For some reason I think I am getting this mixed up with a crossover cable, which it's not, the pairs would still be the same, unlike the cross over cable where it wouldn't be...
Just wanted to confirm before I either cut all the ends off the builder wire to do it 568B standard and purchasing new connectors ... or if it's all good?
EDIT: Actually more specifically after I wrote it down. The ports that are wired at the 568A standard and into the patch panel. Will there be any problem plugging a normal 568B patch panel cable to the port on the switch with the port on the patch panel?
Made this crappy diagram... hopefully it helps better explain how some is wired.
Thanks,
