T568A and T568B are just different wiring colours. The pins are still wired 1..8 to 1..8 the same way for both types.

As long as you use the same standard (A or B) for both ends of a CAT5 cable, it will be wired straight through.

Do you have your lights yet? That will determine if your using a AC or DC LOR board. both of these boards can be connected to the DR4 with the modified cable from the info in the 4th post
 
Hi
last year i bought 100*16 ordinary led lights. and already i have 3 AC controllers for other purposes. now i want to make use these lights for mega christmas tree. so i m planing to buy one more controller for christmas mega tree. so i heard that i can use these led's in DC board .my setup is LOR is separate network. and dmx is separate network. i don't want mix.
thanks
