Does it matter if I use T568A or T568B?
The only difference between T568A and T568B is that the orange and green pairs are interchanged. T568A wiring pattern is recognized as the preferred wiring pattern for this standard because it provides backward compatibility to both one pair and two pair USOC wiring schemes.

What is 568A used for?
T568A and T568B are the termination standards used by Internet backbone infrastructure, Internet providers and all the way down to homeowners or businesses. The only real difference between these two pin-to-pair assignments are the green and orange pairs. These two sets are swapped in the cable.
Which wire pairs are used on a 100BaseT network?
100BaseT networks, also called Fast Ethernet networks, use only two wire pairs: green and orange.
Which wire pairs are used on a 100base T network?
What pins does 100Base use?
A 10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX host uses a connector wiring called medium dependent interfaces (MDI), transmitting on pins 1 and 2 and receiving on pins 3 and 6 to a network device.
What type of cable is required for 100Base-FX?
100Base-FX requires multimode fiber cable with two or more strands.
What is 100Base-T cable?
100BASE-T is an enhanced form of Ethernet 10BASE-T and a network standard used for fast data transfer rates up to 100 Mbps. 100BASE-T is 10 times faster than standard Ethernet and, like standard Ethernet, it follows the Carrier Sense Multiple Access/Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) technique to avoid collision.
Are patch cables A or B?
Many networking professionals use the term patch cable to refer to any kind of straight through cable. So a patch cable is often called a straight through cable. In other words, patch cable does not change or swap along its way. Both ends use the same wiring standard: T-568A or T-568B.
