Greetings,
I have been reading it seems nonstop trying to figure something that should be simple out. However, I believe I am over thinking this.
I moved into a home that was already built, so I did not have any input on wiring. The house does have structured wiring which terminates in the laundry room inside a box in the wall. When I moved in I noticed most rooms had an rj45 wall plug labeled CAT5e. GREAT I thought. However, who ever wired this house had no freaking clue.
The patch panel used was one for telephones. I then removed the rj45 wall plates, and looked at the terminated wires. I have no freaking clue what wiring standard was used. First, nothing matched, everyone was different, etc.
So, I started over. At least the house is wired. I bought a cables to go 8 port cat5e patch panel.

I cut the wires from the telephone panel, and said, ok, I'll patch one, test it, and make sure I am doing it correct.
Here is where I am overthinking and just can't seem to get it right. The patch panel has the Brown Green Orange Blue wiring. Which is nothing like T568A or B. Is the patch panel color code considered straight through?
My setup is going to be like this....
....................Cable TV Box
................../
Outside > (split)
.................\
...................Cable Modem > router > switch > patch panel > wall cables > wall plate > switch > device
I guess I am confused in the different color schemes for the wires for patch panels and then the rj45 connections. Should I terminate the rj45 plugs the same exact way as the patch panel it is coming from and not the T568A? I am assuming this makes a straight through connection?
I am using store bought patch cables to go from cable modem to the router, to the switch, to the patch panel. The patch panel has rj45 connections as well as the 110 punch downs. So from the switch to rj45 connection in patch panel, to the 110 punch down into the wall, back into an rj45 connector on the wall plate. Then another store bought patch cables from the wall plate to switch and from switch to devices.
How do I terminate the rj45 on the wall plate that is coming from the patch panel?
I think I typed way too much here. Any help would be greatly appreciated as I can't afford to mess up as I only have so much wire to work with already in the house.
Thank you.
