Hi

My names Phil and I used to be a servo systems engineer.  I
reinvented myself recently am now a church minister, due to our
churches rebuild project in which I am responsible for tech systems,
and the fact that I played music and led meetings for years anyway.

A friend in a US church prompted me to do the network and phone runs
in Cat5e, so now I have a lot (40) wires arriving at the home point.

My question is - do I get these wired 568A or 568B or doesnt it
matter?

>From the confused understanding I have after about 5 hours of web
reading (yuk - my eyes hurt!) I think

1) on the distribution runs it doesnt really matter (so long as its
the same each end ;-)since they are all pin to pin, the only
difference it will make is in the colours in the patch bays /
outlets.  Then so long as we wire in and out thinking terminals it
actually wouldnt matter

2) 568B is the standard in the UK and the RJ45 to BT adaptors
available will be wired (colour matched) 568B

Nice to be here - hope these arent daft / annoying newbie questions

Phil
