This is incorrect. The pairs should be:
blue white/blue white/green white/orange orange green white/brown brown
Wire 1 MUST swap with 4 and Wire 2 MUST swap with 5. To do as you have
shown above switches the polarity on each electrical circuit. It is
especially important that you do not switch the polarity, as some equipment
does not auto-correct for reversed polarity.
I stand corrected -- though, the arrangement I described has definitely worked
for me in the past (I'm looking right now at a homebrew crossover cable I
replaced with a longer one when we installed a new server), so maybe our
WCT410P is just more forgiving than some kit out there?
Anyway, Tilghman is the expert, I'm just a satisfied user :)
T1, E1 and BRI links on copper cables use differential signaling, and
thus there is no 'polarity' to be concerned about. This is not true for
analog links, though, where polarity can be important (although most
equipment is designed to auto-correct if the polarity of Tip and Ring
are not preserved).
