It really makes no difference. Except on a single cable.
The signal does not know what color the wire is.
So it is pin 3 to pin 3, etc.

At least for normal 10 and 100 base T setups. Maybe at giga rates.
it could change which signals go down which pairs, which might
make it more susceptible to interference.
