Step 5 – Testing
Test the cable with a continuity tester to make sure cable is properly
terminated with no opens, shorts, reversals, or miswires.
Typical Questions
How to decide which wiring configuration to use:
EIA/TIA T568A and T568B:
Definition - A predetermined wiring order of individual conductors
in a cable, based on the color of the conductor’s outer sheathing.
Does the job specification call out a wiring configuration?
Does the customer/end user have a preference for T568A or T568B?
Are you adding on to an existing wiring structure? If so, your new
cabling should match the existing wiring.
If none of the factors above apply, either T568A or T568B may be
used. It is important to ensure that the workstation connectors and
the patch cord are wired to the same pattern. T568B is commonly
used in commercial installations, while T568A is prevalent in
residential installations.
