Which of the following pin pairs remain with the same wire color for either T568A or T568B?

The correct answer is D. Pair 4 & 5. T568A and T568B differ only in the placement of the orange and green wire pairs. In both standards, pins 4 and 5 carry the solid blue wire and the white/blue wire (the blue pair), and pins 7 and 8 carry the brown wires - these positions are identical in both T568A and T568B…

Explanation

T568A and T568B differ only in the placement of the orange and green wire pairs. In both standards, pins 4 and 5 carry the solid blue wire and the white/blue wire (the blue pair), and pins 7 and 8 carry the brown wires - these positions are identical in both T568A and T568B. Pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 are where the orange and green pairs swap between the two standards. Therefore, the blue pair on pins 4 and 5 remains constant regardless of which wiring standard is used.
