Cat5e RJ45 surface mount on skirting or wall

There are two types of wiring - coded version A or B. I haven't got a clue which they refer to but I have been using A for ages with no problems. Just be consistent and don't mix the two.

Either A-A or B-B can be used in a set up.

A cable with A at one end and B at the other is a crossover cable . You would use a crossover, for example, to connect two PCs directly.

Incidentally many routers these days will be happy to work with A-A, B-B and A-B but it is good practice to wire either A-A or B-B

If you can, cut the ends off and use faceplate RJ45 sockets in each room

Not a good idea since the cable will most likely be stranded not solid core. RJ45 faceplates are designed to be used with solid core. But there is a way round it by tinning each wire.

A N Other option is to buy a double face plate and connect the terminals inside the jack from socket one to socket two. Screw the faceplate down and plug one cable from the router to one side and your lappy to the other. Messy...

Or just use a RJ45 coupler.
