Q. I want to crimp network connectors myself. What is the correct order for a straight-through cable and a crossover cable?
A. The wiring standards for CAT-5 are the EIA/TIA 568-A and the EIA/TIA 568-B standards. To be honest, it doesnt really matter much as to which standard you decide upon, so long as both ends have the same pin-out for a straight-through cable, or an A on one end and a B on the other end for crossover cables.
568-A
1- white/green
2-green
3-white/orange
4-blue
5-white/blue
6-orange
7-white/brown
8-brown
568-B
1- white/orange
2-orange
3-white/green
4-blue
5-white/blue
6-green
7-white/brown
8-brown
