RE: cat 5 cabling - a or b standard? KAT5

["Keith Doxey" <lists.diyha@xxxxxxx>]

I think "B " is the more common standard but as stated earlier you can wire half of your sockets as A and half as B as long as both ends of the cable are the same. Just dont get into the situation of one person doing the panel as B and someone else fitting the sockets as A :-)

Most of my Cat5 sockets and my main patch panel have only one set
of markings, however the last sockets I bought and a new small
patch pannel from B+Q, have markings for Standard A & B.  So what
one do I use in this mixed environment.

In other words what 'standard' is the most standard? I don't want to get
them all crossed over, for my newer sockets.
