Home network wiring questions
cdbrown:
After having a look through things the following is all you really need to know -
Make sure all your patch cables are one type either A or B. All your wall plates will then be the same. If you have different types of patch cables then you need to marry the cable to the wall plate
Patch A - A wall
Patch B - B wall
You can wire one end A and the other B as long as you have the correct patch cables for each end.

I'm probably a little late, but shouldn't someone have told him not to use Cat5, as it's outdated and will be a limiting factor? He should at the very least be doing permanent wiring with Cat5e, and I would always recommend Cat6 going forward.
Plus, if you're just doing straight through runs, such as router to jack, jack to jack, etc, the color scheme is irrelevant. It just has to be the same on both ends. They're just wires.
GGKoul:
I ran Cat5e. Now I wish I ran Cat6, another coaxle line and some audio cables.
But the Cat6 cable wasn't locally available when I ran the wirings in the walls during my home construction 2 years ago.
