I recently ran some CAT5 cable through my house walls for my home LAN. After doing so, I had to install some CAT5 ends for the wall plates. The ends I bought gave the option of 2 wiring schemes - T568A and T568B. Not having a clue which to use, I chose B. I got everything wired up, and when I was connecting the patch cables into the wall plates, I noticed the following on the patch cables themselves:
Approved T568A
Bummer. Thinking I had guessed wrong on the wiring scheme and would have to rewire them, I decided to give it a shot and see if it worked with the B scheme. To my surprise, it did.
So, my questions are:
-What's the difference between T568A and T568B?
-Am I okay using T568B, or should I rewire them?
