Yeah, this is a good point. If you notice that on the 568B standard the blue pair separates the green. This is to prevent crosstalk. Ethernet(10Mbps) and FastEthernet(100Mbps) both only use 4 pins which correspond to 4 wires. Pins 1,2,3 and 6. I believe that TX are 1,2 and RX are 3 and 6. So it really doesn't matter what color you use where, as long as there is a pair separating the 1,2 from the 3,6 (although it would be silly to deviate from the standard). Of course, I have been in some buildings where they just seem to make up their own wiring standard! - nick > -----Original Message----- > From: Jason Staudenmayer [mailto:jasons@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: Friday, October 03, 2003 11:39 AM > To: 'redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx' > Subject: RE: Using RJ45 crimp tool > > > I think order does matter or at least the pairs match.
