Zatrax has a really nice guide to LAN wiring, listing which cables to use when, and what all of the colors mean and more.”There is NOTHING more annoying than spending 30 minutes debugging a network problem to find it was the cable. Badly made or non-standard cabling is a foolish thing to spend time on - do it once and do it right. This guide may help you to forget cabling problems and spend time time doing really useful things - like pondering the meaning of life!”
