What is important is that wires 1 and 2 are from the same pair and wires 3
and 6 are also from the same pair. The standard colour scheme ensures this
but you can follow any colour scheme as long as you follow the abovre
rules.
Pre-crimped wires are usually tested and guaranteed by the manufacturer or
the cable installer. So you can complain to them if it doesn't work.
I've gone the DIY route though, with minimal problems.
Read the Ethernet HOWTO for a explanation of preparing Twisted pair
cables, including crossover cables.
