The EIA/TIA (Combined Electronics Industry
Association/ Telecommunications Industry Association) created two
standards for Ethernet wiring, as shown below. As noted above, it
makes a lot of sense to stick to these standards when wiring your
ethernet. Conforming to the standards simply means putting the twisted
pair wires in the correct order, according to the type of cable
you are creating. The following diagram clearly illustrates the
correct wire colour order for both standards.
