Color coding to connect rj45 socket and rj45 connector to make an ethernet extension cable

Question

i want to make a cable like this:

What should be the color coding to make this Ethernet LAN Network extension Cable. I have a rj45 socket and a rj45 connector but there indicator on rj45 female sockets has been removed.

here is the color coding . and i was able to do it even without marking on RJ45 socket

Get a new socket that has the A or B markings still on it and use either 568A or 568B on each end. — Ward - Trying Codidact, Aug 21 '15 at 07:00

For cables that have been constructed to the relevant standards the colour coding is well defined by TIA/EIA-568 and the pin to pin wiring is straight through so pin1 goes to pin 1 and so on.

But don't you want to do A or B (matching) at each end, to keep the pairs right? – Ward - Trying Codidact Aug 21 '15 at 06:59

Of course you do. – user9517 Aug 21 '15 at 07:00
I figured he might think you can just randomly grab colours and do or/wh as 1, then bl/wh as 2, then wh/or as 3 or whatever. – Ward - Trying Codidact Aug 21 '15 at 07:02
That's why I linked to the relevant standards. – user9517 Aug 21 '15 at 07:05
