Hello! I am trying to replace a wall plate having a small phone plug with an rj45. First time doing this.

The cable itself is a cat5e. On the other end near my switch, there is an rj45 already wired in, so I wanted to check it to know if it’s wired A or B, to replicate on the wall plate. But I have this in the photo… 1-2 is blue ?

How should I wire my rj45 keystone for the wall plate ? T568A or B ? Or following the current colors/numbers ?

This a 2016 construction, in Quebec, Canada.

Thanks a lot!

Unless you’re using hardware from 30 years ago it shouldn’t matter if you end up making a crossover cable or a straight through cable.
