Basically what I'm saying is there isn't a standard for how the circuit board is laid out between the jack and the block. What matters is that the block is properly labeled such that the rj-45 jack is connected correctly to the right wires. As an example, look at the images of the jacks below....
Very true. I like the ones like in your first example with the deep channels for the punchdown tool. But flip the jack over, get under a dark desk on your knees, I need some help so I don't want to even see the "A' side and I black it out with a Sharpie, like below.
That's because I terminate mostly
male RJ-45's and have the color code memorized directionally and based on the locking tab orientation; I don't do many female jacks and have to pay attention to where that specific manufacturer wants that color. If I think long and hard I can associate the pin #1 with the color but, again, I want it quick and correct when I'm doing a wall jack under not-the-best-conditions for an old fart with 2 herniated disks and dim eyeballs.
Which prompts this question: why the heck are so many people that pull in CAT cable (but are NOT the ones terminating it) so @#$%^ stingy with a few feet of slack? Are they going to increase their profit margin by about $.15 by keeping that 3 feet on the @#$% roll? C'mon, man....I think it's because they aren't the ones that are going to be terminating it. I always leave enough to make my job (or someone else's) easier.
I learned long ago (and the hard way) you can make a cable shorter easily and quickly but NOT SO when it comes to making it longer.
