Difficulty: EasyNetwork Cable Types and Connectors

A technician is terminating a twisted-pair network cable using the T568B wiring standard for a standard Ethernet connection. Which of the following pin-to-wire color assignments are correct for the T568B standard? (Select TWO.)

  1. Pin 1: White/OrangeAnswer
  2. Pin 2: OrangeAnswer
  3. C
    Pin 1: White/Green
  4. D
    Pin 3: Solid Orange

Answer

The correct assignments for the T568B standard are Pin 1: White/Orange and Pin 2: Orange.
Under the T568B commercial wiring standard, the first pair begins with White/Orange on Pin 1 and Solid Orange on Pin 2.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the standard pinout sequence for T568B wiring.
The T568B pin configuration order is: 1 (White/Orange), 2 (Orange), 3 (White/Green), 4 (Blue), 5 (White/Blue), 6 (Green), 7 (White/Brown), 8 (Brown).
Establishing the standard sequence allows direct evaluation of each option's pin assignment.
2
Match the options against the standard T568B sequence.
Pin 1 correctly pairs with White/Orange, and Pin 2 correctly pairs with Orange.
White/Green on Pin 1 corresponds to T568A, and Solid Orange on Pin 3 is transposed from its proper Pin 2 assignment.
