What is the difference between a 568A connector and a 568B connector? What is the color code to a Cat-5 Cable? What is the difference between a 568A connector and a 568B connector?
	Answer by Joseph Golan posted 06 Oct 2005
Dear Mark, The difference between a connector wired to T568A or T568B wiring is the swapping of pairs 2 & 3. Either one will work without a difference to performance. Make sure both ends are the same. See these URLs for color coding and pin-out connections. http://www.cabling-design.com/references/colorcodes/4pair.shtml http://www.cabling-design.com/references/pinouts/t568ab.shtml Sincerely, Joseph Golan, RCDD
