Oh, at that same job (novell) , I moved the network

I've hardly ever seen a commercial standard
Cat3 / Cat4 / Cat5 /Cat5e
cable that was miswired with split pairs. Telephone cables wired to
the old USOC standard are different[1], but not usually fitted with
RJ45 plugs, and flat cables are obviously not twisted pairs.
I agree, and I suspect any straight-through RJ-45 cable
was for a telephone system, not networking. Perhaps
Sellam knows examples.
