I considered doing this in T568A, but my concern for well actually won over my trolling instincts.

@ryanc An old American standard. T568B is only one-pair compatible with it, so you'd have to use an awkward two-finger handshake. Dumb joke.

@ryanc @woe2you I have it on good authority that American telecom schools used to push USOC heavily. 👀

@jima @woe2you it doesn't work for ethernet

@ryanc @woe2you Ethernet was, uh, a lot less commonplace back then. 😅

(And technically it worked IIRC, it just didn't compensate for cross-talk properly.)

@jima @ryanc @woe2you receive pin pair was on second pair of wires — ostensibly orange.

But transmit pin pair crossed third and fourth pairs — ostensibly green and brown.

The split pair made things much more noise sensitive.

@jima @ryanc @woe2you universal service order codes and the registered jack numbers are … interesting.

Especially if you look at “X” jacks.
