What is the TIA-568-B RJ-45 termination pinout for pins 1-8?

This tests the RJ-45 termination pinout defined by TIA/EIA-568-B. In this standard, the four twisted pairs are assigned to specific pins so the colors line up correctly: the orange pair occupies pins 1 and 2, the green pair occupies pins 3 and 6, the blue pair occupies pins 4 and 5, and the brown pair occupies pins 7 and 8. The exact sequence is 1 White/Orange, 2 Orange, 3 White/Green, 4 Blue, 5 White/Blue, 6 Green, 7 White/Brown, 8 Brown. This is the 568-B arrangement used for straight-through Ethernet cables, ensuring consistent pairing across ends. Other patterns do not follow this mapping and thus do not match the 568-B standard.
