T568B Wiring Standard Specifications

The most common wiring standard used in most applications is the 568b wiring standard. Most of things you will buy off the shelf will be wired in the 568b standard. You should note that you can use either the T568B wiring standard or the T568A standard to wire any application and it should work perfectly.

Using the 568B wiring standards you wire the cables differently than the T568A wiring standard. Using the T568B wiring system calls for the White/Orange wire in pin 1, Orange in pin 2, White/Green in pin 3, Blue in pin 4, White/Blue in pin 5, Green in pin 6, White/brown in pin 7 and again Brown in pin 8.

The 568B wiring standard is most commonly used in the patching cables. The installation process for the 568B wiring standard is the exact same as the T568A wiring standard. You have to skin off the top one inch of the protective plastic sleeve and untwist each set of wires. Then you need to flatten the wires and slide them into their correct pins, trim the cables down to one half inch length and use your crimping tool to crimp the wire.
