HostChoice.net: T568 A or T568 B Wiring Schemes
Posted in: HowTo | by HostChoice.net | 2016 Nov 05
Based on TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001, the T568A and T568B wiring schemes define the pinout, or order of connections, for wires in eight-pin modular connector plugs and jacks.

The only difference between T568A and T568B is that pairs 2 and 3 (orange and green) are swapped. Both configurations wire the pins "straight through", i.e., pins 1 through 8 on one end are connected to pins 1 through 8 on the other end, and the same sets of pins are paired in both configurations: pins 1 and 2 form a pair, as do 3 and 6, 4 and 5 and 7 and 8.

Cables that are terminated with differing standards on each end will not function normally, however mixing T568A-terminated patch cords with T568B-terminated horizontal cables (or the reverse) will not produce pinout problems in a facility, although it may slightly degrade signal quality, This effect is marginal and certainly no greater than that produced by mixing cable brands in-channel.



We at HostChoice.net believe the internet should be fun and safe.
