Explanation

T568A is a TIA/EIA-defined wiring standard that specifies the pin-to-wire color assignments when terminating twisted pair cables into RJ-45 connectors. T568A and its counterpart T568B are the two recognized standards for how the eight wires are arranged. Fiber (A) is an entirely different cable medium. IEEE 1394 (C) is the FireWire serial bus standard. CAT5 (D) is a cable category specification describing electrical performance characteristics, not a wiring pinout standard.
