You should pull the covers and check the wiring. There are two basic standards TIA/EIA-568-A and TIA/EIA-568-B and the wiring is slightly different, pairs 3 and 4 are reveresed, the B standard is generally more common.

B is from left to right with the clip on the bottom:

1 orange white
2 orange
3 green white
4 blue
5 blue white
6 green
7 brown white
8 brown

The A standard has 1,2 and 3,6 reveresed.

I just moved into a new house, and it is partially wired for networking. It has network drops at various points through the house, and the wires

clips as a straight through connection, or as a cross over?



Straight through I believe, if the upstairs ends are terminated to RJ45s or RJ45 wall sockets you will of course need to find out which version they are wired to.


I have a large box of Cat 5 and RJ45s sitting around also some double wall sockets etc. let me know before Wednesday if you want anything.
