Yeah - but you're forgetting USOC pinning where the pairs are
Line 1 bl/w on pins 4,5
Line 2 o/w on pins 3,6
Line 3 g/w on pins 2,7
Line 4 br/w on pins 1,8

Commonly found on flat (silk) cable with parallel conductors in a
sheath. If you want packet loss try this pinning - the data is on split
pairs and is effectively unshielded.
