I dont believe this has any barring whatsoever on performance. Hell, you could create you own pinout, as long as they match, how would the equipment even care?
Pairing must be maintained.
Maybe something related to what pair is twisted?
Huh? All pairs are twisted.
Remember the idea of twisted pairs is to reduce crosstalk (egress) and interference (ingress) from other pairs, so we have to maintain the pairings.
The positioning of connections on the male and female connectors is also optimized to reduce crosstalk from pair to pair.
So you could make up your own pinouts, and have a degradation of performance.
Thought this was a dis-proven wives tale.
That's "experienced persons' tale" now.
