Yes. 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 -

Yes. 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.
