How are the Color Codes 568A and 568B different?
Issue:
The difference between T568A and T568B color codes is needed.

Product Line:
Cables and Connectivity Solutions, Patch Panels

Environment:
CAT6PNL-24 and CAT6PNL-48, all serial ranges.

Cause:
Not following the correct color code can cause wiring errors.

Answer:
568A and 568B are color code standards that show which color wire matches up with a specific position on an RJ45 connector. When designing a network infrastructure only one color code can be followed. All commercial and residential wiring in the US follows TIA 568B color code.
