It’s not for going between 568A and B, it’s just terminated that way. What is flipped is the transmit and receive pins. It’s used in equipment that can’t auto-mdix, if you need to connect two ports or two interfaces. Like interface on a NIC with a router, or ports on two switches/hubs.
I assumed crossover cables were to go between A and B standards, but that doesn’t look accurate. What are they for then?
