The connectors and adapters are coded throughout to ensure the correct orientation of the plug connection. The three polarity methods A, B and C as defined in TIA-568-C, for their part, are used to guarantee the right bi-directional allocation. This chapter describes these methods briefly. Method A Method A uses straight-through type A backbones (pin1 […]
