A technician needs to wire a patch panel to a keystone jack for a new office installation. The office’s existing infrastructure follows the T568B standard. To maintain consistency within the network, which of the following wiring standards should the technician use for the new installation?
You selected this option
Use a unique wiring scheme with multiple color schemes per pair to enhance signal clarity.
You selected this option
T568A wiring on both the patch panel and the keystone jack.
You selected this option
T568B wiring on both the patch panel and the keystone jack.
You selected this option
T568A wiring on the patch panel and T568B wiring on the keystone jack to ensure cable performance.
In a network infrastructure, it is vital to maintain consistency with the established cabling standards to avoid connectivity issues. Since the technician’s office currently uses the T568B standard, they should continue using the T568B standard for the new installation to ensure compatibility with the existing network. While T568A and T568B are both acceptable standards, they should not be mixed in the same installation without a specific need to do so, such as creating crossover connections, which are mostly deprecated due to most modern equipment supporting Auto-MDI/X. Option with multiple color schemes per pair deviates from both established standards and therefore is incorrect.
