5e Wiring. I'm a noob. Someone please!

[qwerty33]

I have 8p8c biscuits. I'm trying to wire the office for data. I have crimped the one end of the cable in 568A fashion. I've also tried 568B as well. Problem is, I cannot figure out how to wire my 4 pair to the biscuit. Can someone in lamens terms just let me know? I.E. Blue/White goes to the Red pin, White/Blue goes to the Green....etc. Thanks!

If the jack is using red/green/white/blue/black/yellow/orange/brown then it is not a data jack. I am guesisng it has screw terminals.

You need a data jack. Most of these actually have a sticker that shows both the A and B color schemes. These will use insultation displacement termination. Some have a built in piece you push down to terminate once the wires are in the right slots. Others use a 110 style punch block temrination that can only be done reliably with the right tool.

Return those jacks and get the right ones.

Good luck.

I concur with ISDNman.

when you do get enough jacks to terminate both ends of the cable and some factory made patch cords .

dont crimp the cable yourself

Just wanted to repeat what skip pointed out in case you missed it:

Don’t crimp one end of the cable to rj45 mod plugs. Terminate both ends to jacks (or one end to a patch panel,) then use factory made patch cables to connect it all together.
This will save you heartache.

Amen Bkrike!

qwerty33, glad you are up and running.
