RJ45 Most Comon wiring T568?

[VX L67 Getrag]

I'm just wiring up a couple of cat5 ethernet cables & all the other cables I have are configured to T568b but the world wide web says that T568a is more common can they be used in conjunction (if wiring lots of points) is 1 better than the other for any reason?

TIA for any advice VX L67 Getrag

both are the same in the way it works. just 2 pair colors are swapped at both ends.

Even if you have one end as A and the other end as B it will still work as most network devices and NIC auto negotiate TX and RX lines. Though both ends should be the same unless making a cross over cable from PC to PC where the NICs cant auto negotiate.

I use A standard

yeah opt for one or the other and make them all the same, you'll be right then!

Thanks for the replies, because I have already started using b I guess I'll keep using that throughout!


Thanks again!

Both are used out in the 'real world' so as said above pick one and stick with it.
