	RJ45 Sockets
I am setting up a home LAN. I purchased some network port sockets with the back boxes and the colour code on the back of the sockets is 568A & 568B colour code when I need to know the 802.1 standard for connecting cat5 to a socket. Can you give me the correct wiring sequence for these sockets?

Iain, Use only one wiring colour code in your installation: either 568A or 568B. The schemes are explaned here: http://www.cabling-design.com/references/pinouts/ You may find additional useful information in our 'Residential Cabling Guide' available here: http://www.cabling-design.com/resources/documents/
