Network+ – 11/10/2008

Today in Network+, we took the midterm exam and then covered Chapter 6.  The most important thing to take away from Chapter 6 is the EIA/TIA 568 A/B wiring schematics.  The most important one is 568B, which tends to be used in more organizations.  Here’s the correct way to wire the eight individual tiny wires in the cabling:

1: Orange/White
2: Orange
3: Green/White
4: Blue
5: Blue/White
6: Green
7: Brown/White
8: Brown

(For 568A, simply switch any Orange with Green).
