You're partly right but it's not guaranteed to work at 100. If you'll just
follow the 1-2-3-6 pin configuration, your data might not travel at wire
speed and would definitely drop you at 10mbps. You should follow the color
combination because of the twisting of each pair. The twisting is one of the
most important part of the tp cable. So, if we will not comply with the
color specification, then there's a possibility that we'll not achieve a
better throughput.
