I've installed tooless Cat5 jacks on both ends of my cable using the
T568A convention;

PIN NUMBER COLOR
1 Green/White
2 Green
3 Orange/White
4 Blue
5 Blue/White
6 Orange
7 Brown/White
8 Brown

I purchased a Cat5e patch cord and noticed that these wire colors do
not match my jack colors.

They are set up the following way looking left to right with the snap
release pointed up and the connection towards you:

orange/white, orange, blue/white, blue, green/white, green,
brown/white, brown

Is this a problem ?? I feel that if as long as there is 8 wires,
regardles of the color coming out of the router, there is a path to
send and recieve data.


You don't need all eight. Four will do. I forget which four.
