Is it just me, or are the pin numberings (not the order) wrong on their 568A/B pinouts? I’m having a hard time getting past that…

- windexh8er 3y agoYes. In 568B pin 1 would be Orange-Stripe (left side looking from top of plug). Very odd indeed. This pinout has been burned into my brain since high school - and I've never seen it represented backwards as their diagrams show. I even have the printed 802.3 spec from when I worked for a defense contractor a buddy of mine gave me as a gag gift. I've referenced it over the years more than expected. But 568A and 568B are specifically color coded to the pins. And these diagrams are wrong.
- mbreese 3y agoThanks for the confirmation. I spent way more time than I care to admit double checking this. I tend to not make my own cables anymore and just use punch down sockets, so it’s been a while.
