4. WIRE COLOUR CODING FOR CATEGORY 5 CABLES

This chapter shows you the normal colour coding for category 5 cables (4 pair) based on

the two standards supported by TIA/EIA: the 568A and 568B standard. These standards

apply to the colour code used with a single cable run: BOTH ENDS MUST USE THE

SAME STANDARD. Which standard to use, is a matter of local decision. However, since

they both use the same pin out at the connectors you can mix 568A and 568B cables in

any installation.
