 Patch Panel/Workstation Jack Pinouts
I am installing a small network into my home. I have run CAT5e from various points in my home to a single location in the basement. I have a patch panel and workstation jacks for each end of the cable. I do not know, however, how to "punch-down" each end. I would like to use the T568A standard and have labeling for either T568A or T568B wiring.

Hello, John!

Use T568A wiring scheme because it's recommended by the TIA/EIA-570-A "Residential Cabling Standard"


Best regards,
