Checking Category 5E & 6 Modular Cord
Wiring Polarity
Hold both ends of the modular cord with the plugs alongside each other. Ensure that the gold contacts of both plugs are facing you and the cord from each plug is leading down. The gold contacts are numbered from left to right with the plugs in this orientation. Compare the colour sequence from left to right. If the colours appear in the same sequence on both plugs, the cord is wired straight-through. If the colour sequence of the green and orange pairs is transposed on the second plug, the cord is wired cross-over.
Category 5e Colour Sequence
Category 5e cabling utilises a standard conductor colour coding system. Each pair of conductors consists of a white conductor and a coloured conductor. Each white conductor is usually marked with a coloured stripe or band to prevent incorrect pairing.
1 White/Blue 3 White/Green
Two different pair sequences are used for terminating pairs in a Category 5 or 5E cabling system. Each pair consists of 2 conductors known as the Tip and Ring. The tip (or L+) conductor is always white and the ring (L-) conductor is coloured. Each pair of conductors is assigned a pair of pins in the modular jack according to one of the following standard sequences. The preferred pair assignment for use in Australia is identified as T568A, although T568B is also used.
