How are cat 3 plugs wired?

Cat 3 plugs are typically wired using the T568A or T568B standard, with the most common wiring being T568B. The wiring involves connecting the pairs of wires to the appropriate pins on the RJ-45 connector: Pin 1 (white with orange stripe) and Pin 2 (orange) for the first pair, Pin 3 (white with green stripe) and Pin 6 (green) for the second pair, and so on. For proper connectivity, it's crucial to maintain the correct order of the wire colors and ensure that the insulation is stripped to the right length without damaging the wires.
