Re: cat5 installation help
I don't know whether this is still true, but for a long time there was no Euro equivalent of the EIA/TIA 530 standard which is at least as important because it covers the pathways and telecomm spaces in buildings.
The point about these standards is that none of them contain any of the practices that you need to know to install and terminate cable.
Example: you usually have to check the cable manufacturer's specs to find out that if you pull Cat5 or 5e at more than 35 lbs/16 kg or so tension, you risk lowering the Cat rating of the cable by distorting its internal structure.

T568A Pins | T568B Pins
Pair 3 (Green) 1,2 | Pair 2 (Orange) 1,2
Pair 2 (Orange) 3,6 | Pair 3 (Green) 3,6
Pair 1 (Blue) 4,5 | Pair 1 (Blue) 4,5
Pair 4 (Brown) 7,8 | Pair 4 (Brown) 7,8
10Base-T/100Base-T
Pair 1 (Blue) 1,2
Pair 2 (Orange) 3,6
However, I believe you can use any color as long as you keep the pins on each end correct. And both ends in a standard configuration are identically terminated in all three cases above.

Re: cat5 installation help
10baseT & 100baseT should not really be in a discussion on CAT5 cabling - these are ethernet over twisted pair standards, CAT5 or Category5 cabling has a much broader scope.
Essentially a CAT5 installation can be done to meet EIA/TIA 568 specification with NO regard to whether the end use is an Ethernet or Token Ring LAN etc.
A CAT5 spec. installation requires CAT5 material - 4 pair CAT5 twisted pair cable, CAT5 jacks/patch panels - and installation methods to ensure that all parameters stay within the specification - cable lengths need to be kept to a maximun of 90 metres, not more than 0.5" of untwisted cable at the terminations - and then the whole shebang tested or certified for length, attenuation, NEXT etc.
If this is not going to be a small network - don't try to do it yourself

Re: cat5 installation help
Just to let you know
I did not end up performing the Cat5 installation.
Thanks again!
