Wiring configuration for Cat6

[Jerrinst]

When I am going to wire all my connector plugs (the ends opposite the keystone jacks), I need to wire them all exactly the same, correct (as in 568-B or 568-A)?

Is there a perferred wiring method for Cat6? If so, why?

Thanks for the advise all!

I appreciate the link, but I thought Cat6 was differently wired than Cat5e. Are you saying that Cat5e and Cat 6 are wired the same?

Thanks for all of your help,

Yes 568a or b so lonas both ends are the same. The difference in speed is how te cable is manufacutered not the wiring (so long as you stick to the a or b)
