Cat5e Faceplate Wiring.
Hi
Im renovating my house so putting in a patch panel in the loft, 4 Pair, single core Cat5e and wall sockets. I have gone through the uk.d.i.y archives and checked the web and I understand there are two main wiring schemes, 568A and 568B. However the faceplates I have, (bought at CEF), are marked with a 568B colour coded sticker. The layout on the sticker ( http://www.geocities.com/classic_bot/ ) does not seem to match the 568B wiring scheme, example he http://kraycabling.com/technical_inf...ack_wiring.htm Although it does state on the webpage it is for kray jacks I did assume that pins would be in the same place on all Cat5(e) jacks. As you can see in my pic the pairs are all grouped side by side. I cant see any pin numbers on the unit either. Should I just wire up and match the colour coding on the socket and then copy this at the patch panel end? Thanks all. |

then copy this at the patch panel end? Yes. Don't get too bogged down in how the manufacturer decided to route the cable from the socket to the terminals. Christian. |

PCB layouts and connctor construction on different brands of socket vary. If you are doing a fair number, it's a good idea to get hold of a CAT5 cable continuity tester so that you can make sure that all connections are through and correctly made. -- ..andy To email, substitute .nospam with .gl |

Whilst I would expect the marked colour codes to conform to the marked standard, there is no harm in checking with a multimeter. I checked all my terminations with a multimeter anyway.
