568B. If I am servicing a job site that has been terminated 568A, I will terminate any new cables 568A as well. I then get out the old label maker and mark the patch panel 568A.
I have had several jobs over the years where someone took low bid and had no network when they moved in. I always chuckle, because the panel is A and. the outlets are B. Must have seen this a dozen times over the years.

Yup that's it. Only done one job in B and that was for an American owned company, using equipment from the states. Always in A unless specified...

I match whatever is there already for adds, moves, and changes, but new work has always been the B standard for a long long time now.

for the most part, yes. otherwise, resi stuff is almost always A, and commercial stuff is almost always B. im talking about active devices, not jacks, patch panels and the like.
