So what do you pick, /g/? A or B? There is definitely a

They're the same.

Doesn't matter. The device you plug it into will automatically detect which layout the cable is and configure itself appropriately.

>>62453308
Which one preserves the twisted pairs?

>>62453534
Both do

>>62453534
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TIA/EIA-568#Wiring

Both do. Just use A

>>62453465
It doesn't detect jack shit. Electrically they are identical. It's only different when you do crossover where the NIC kicks in and detects it.

>>62453580
Literally the same thing as what I already said, pedant.

B. The answer is always B. Ask anyone who has been doing data cabling since the early 90s. Any experienced installer will use A for voice and B for data. Always choose B and there's never any confusion.

>>62453593
The device does absolutely nothing to differentiate between A or B dipshit. It can't even detect it.

>>62453604
A is required for US government contracts.

>>62453308
B for regular shit
A for government buildings and the other end of crossover cables
stupid fucking thread

>>62453308
For RJ45 A is correct, its not crossover

>>62453465
>>62453580
Auto MDIX can correct it

B.. I've never seen someone use type A.

As long as the connector is put on right... Ran into a job where the dipshit put on a connector backwards, causing a fuckton of problems on a ticket printer.

'B' Every god-damn time. All my patch cables are 'B'. Unless of course its a crossover cable.

I pick A on one end of the cable and B on the other.

Why are you so mean?

>>62453308
There is definitely a right answer to this. The answer one the right is a 'right answer', while the answer on the left is a 'left answer'. Prove me wrong; you can't.

>>62453308
Patch cable - always B. I've never had to wire my own crossover, the only use case I've ever encountered was netcatting ISOs to my PS2 once, and I bought a premade cable for £2.

>>62453308
T568B. Anyone who's ever terminated and tested cable for a living will tell you B.

T568A is only used by the government, and in one end of a crossover cable.

>>62453308
Obviously B.

The REAL question is how do people terminate their cat6.

Ideal plugs always worked for me.

B in euroBe
A in usA

>>62456101
It literally doesn't make a difference unless you're using extremely old (20+ years) outdated hardware.

Honestly? I think you are falling down into autistic minutiae. Does A work? Does B work? Yes? Good.

Install minix now

>>62456101
There's no real difference performance-wise between A and B.

It's just makes terminating cables easier if you stick to one standard, and for everything in the U.S. except government contract work, it's B.

>>62456924
Not even then. As far as physical copper goes both A and B are identical connections, assuming both sides are either A or B, not mixed. If it's mixed it's a crossover cable, which could cause issues on 20+ years old hardware when used normally.

Retards.

B is from PCs to routers/switches etc and A is from routers to routers or switches to switches etc. I believe A is called rollover and the other one is crossover.

>>62453465
You're thinking about when the ends of a cable are different.
If both ends of the cable are the same then the wiring doesn't mean anything, aside from potential crosstalk if you really randomize them.

KEK LOOK AT THIS RETARD

>>62457577
The diff-pair impedances will be off if you don't have paired colors in their respective locations.

You won't get 1Gbit, or possibly even 100Mbit depending on the length of the cable.

When I learned how to do this shit I used B most of the time

I mean it doesn't matter at all but I do like orange with orange, you know.

>>62457577
I had a guy always messing that up, it was hilarious.

>>62457692
That's basically what I said.
If you fully randomize them you'll get cross talk that will affect the rates, you could use bluewhite, blue, greenwhite, orange, orange white, green, redwhite red and it'll work just fine. But fuck anyone who decides they need to recrimp your cable.
