Poor performance from cat 5 network cable

No, mine cost in the region of R500+
They're mostly MIC

Whoow! It is why it crimps too deep.

I expresed it wrong:
I wouldn't feel comfortable having a tool penetrating to deep.

On your picture there is: 568A and 568B
The two different ends of a crossover cable, 1 crossed with 3 and 2 crossed with 6

Nice picture with proper description.
Orange colour on the top looks like lite brown on my monitor. Definitely different to the orange colour on the bottom. It can be confusing.

LOL @ I prefer 568B
The only difference between the two is that 586A is suitable for USOC telephone systems that use 4 wires. I doubt anyone would come across an environment with this requirement. Besides, again, the equipment doesn't demand it, only one very narrow international standard does - there's no technical difference between the two - it's all visual (insulation colour). One is not superior over the other.
