The difference between 568A and 568B Wiring Schemes
|
|
A: 568A and 568B are both wiring schemes used today for terminating pairs in network (jacks/plugs). It is importatnt to ensure that the workstation connectors and patch panels are wired to the same pattern. 568B is commonly used in patch cords and in residential instalations. There is no difference in performance between the two standards as long as the same scheme is used across the cabling system. Only when you are wiring from a modular device to a punch block  do you have the convienience of a more natural progression of the pairs on the punch block side.
