Pair Configuration A or B Cat 5e
I am networking the house, first step was to chase cat5 cable in walls, I have Belkin Category 5e modular jacks 110.
It says on the instructions to follow the colour coding on the jack, seems simple but there is 2 colour codes on it......depending on pair configuration TIA/EIA-568-A or TIA/EIA-568-B.
How do I find if A or B?
Any help greatly appreciated

I assume you'll want the "B" config on your jacks(should start orange-white/orange for 1 and 2)

Re: Pair Configuration A or B Cat 5e
although there are two specifications you'll find most cables and jacks use B
