What are the color code standard for making network cables?
An explanation of the difference between 568A and 568B should be added so there is no confusion. 568A is the current standard and all NEW installations should follow this standard. 568B is the old standard and should be followed if any component segment on the network still uses 568B. The standards can be mixed without any problems, so if a 568B component is introduced into an existing 568A environment or vice-versa, there should be no problems. Thanks badmagicnumber for the explanation.
