But ... i could be wrong... i am a phone guy not a CG! :rofl:
10, 100 and 1000 Base-T all use 2 pairs, 1&2, 3&6 ie the orange and green pair. They bypass the blue pair so you don't fry your network card with telco voltage and then there are the "lonely browns." Which now are no longer lonely thanks to POE.
