You are talking about straight OR cross-over?

There are two wiring standard used for straight through Ethernet cable:
T568A
T568B

Either one is okay to use as long as the same type is used for both ends. The color coding is not related to any region but T568B is the standard followed by the majority of Ethernet installations in the United States. The T568A is more common in Europe and Pacific region

That is very true that every cable is the same function and no difference between them. But down the road, lets say some guy who knows what he is doing would waste time correcting the mistakes. And its better to follow a standard which everyone knows. Even electrician hates how some people simply rojak electrical E/N/L cables for no reason other than they don't know.

The right one is the standard (PC - switch/hub - PC). Cross is the left one.

What you are saying is logical and more professional in attitude of diy s. I agree. Idid want to follow the colour code, but unfortunately the wires which were being used in my cable had different colours from the standard coding, unlike in the chart you have provided. I guess the cable must be a cap ayam !! Ha ha.

P/s the cable which i am trying to crimp is a ready made cable, which i am shortenning the length. Its not a raw cable. I guess raw cables would have the proper colour coding.

Thanks for your comments.

Most RJ45 cables have the same color code. If ready made also the same color code because this is a standard
color code for network guy to do crimping.Why not you show us the cable that is difderent?

Yes agreed, all network cabling is standard worldwide. It shouldn't be a different color code.

Please post the pic of the said cable.
