I use B but not for any particular reason other than it was what was used to teach me to crimp.
TIL I’m a savage lol
568B or nothing at all.
Bah. People like you are why tamper resistant outlets are a thing.
Screw your standards, I’ll lay the cables in whatever order I like; it’s my ethernet cable after all. 😤
Get him! Kill the non-believer! Your rabbit god is ridiculous in the face of our duck god!
That got a knowing nod and a chuckle out of me.
568C (the C is for chaos)
Wire in whatever way they fall in by themselves.
Then rewire the pins on the NICs so they can communicate.
It’s not so bad once you level up your soldering skills.
To be honest, I have no preference, I just followed whatever order guide was on my crimper. Didn’t seem to matter.
Practically it doesn’t matter. I use type A because I memorized that order and it’s never caused a problem so I stuck with it.
It’s kind of a weird joke that type A and B exist at all. Both work. Neither solve a problem the other couldn’t.
Crimp both ends the same and it’s fine. But is funny to have this silly little debate.
I learned B I 2002. I can make either but have to really think about A while I’m making it.
Over the distance I’m running cables (about 60 feet total for the longest runs) it really doesn’t matter. I’m running fiber for anything beyond gigabit anyway so I say aquamarine, violet, and lime green for lyfe.
