Yes you should follow the standard. I was pointing out if you followed picture one for both ends it will work.
You would have the same problem if you used 568a for the first connector.
Look at it as if you are colorblind and it will make more sense.  :)
Correct, but because B is the industry standard you should not do anything else. Additionally, if anything happens in the future that the cable needs to be repaired, no one is going to check what configuration was done 2 floors down to make sure they match.
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

A and B are both industry standards. A is backward compatible and required for the government. Anyone who replaces one end without checking the other end configuration is hack and doesn't know what they are talking about.

I've completed (at least) hundreds of terminations, and I've never encountered anyone using A. Granted I have never done any work for governments either. Government aside, work done in any commercial environment can be safely assumed to be using B.

You can't assume anything. I ran across so many different configurations in my 1k+ terminations over the 20+years at the PO it isn't funny.
Did I mention I am Cisco certified including fiber termination?  :)

Maybe the PO hires incompetent techs.

Yes there are many, but Cisco doesn't.  :P
Look, you are a DIY guy and nothing wrong with that.
If you haven't seen any A type cables, then you need to get out more.  :)

I'm not Cisco certified, but I did IT Support for 5 years.

...and you terminated an end without checking the configuration of the other end?

Many times, and I don't think I ever had an issue with it. Generally, you'll know if there is a problem if it doesn't work.

Sorry I got no recommendation, I'm sure there are threads online about it though.
