A or B wiring Configurations

[statesmanjeff]

I have looked everywhere for factual answers but seem to only be able to get I thinks.
I am a licensed network installer and in all our courses the only thing discussed is the obvious, either full A or full B for internal hard wired installs. You can put a A or B wired patch lead with either, again as long as the lead is started and finished the same.
The Americans swear by the B and lots of Europe swear by the A. I have heard rummer's that one was better for POE situations. Can anyone confirm for future proofing not which is more common but why use one over the other.

568A is the preferred wiring method for Australia.

For reasons of price and availability of various components and items, it would be best to choose A.

But ultimately there is no performance difference between the two. Just ensure whatever you choose to use from the outset you use throughout the entire project.

I concur with peteramjet.

I have always wired to A but was hearing talk of B being more suited to POE. Will stick to A.
