T1 Wiring

Hi there, I'm trying to extend T1 circuits and I need to know if Im doing it right.  I'm taking it from the NIU that the phone company installs and taking it inside a building to an RJ45 Jack (568b)  I know that they run on 1,2,4, and 5 but do they swap blue/white and white/blue like a normal data connection would?  And could someone clear up the order of a 4 wire cable for me?  The Green Red Yellow and Black  What's the order in relation to the orange and blue pairs on a cat 5 cable?  Thanks

If all you're doing is extending it, and it's less than 1000feet you can just make a really long (normal) straight cable with the single swapped wire.

Its an 1100 ft run...

So with that being the case then what color (T1) goes to what pin number (RJ45 - 568B) jack?
Pins 1 - 8 going Left to Right (568B ATT)
O/ O G/ B B/ G Br/ Br

** Again standard straight cable.

EIA/TIA 568B                            
                   Assignment   Pair    Color - UTP     Color - Old Style
   +--------------- Tip Pair 2  2       White/Orange    Black          
   | +------------- Ring Pair 2 2       Orange/White    Yellow
   | | +----------- Tip Pair 3  3       White/Green     White          
   | | | +--------- Ring Pair 1 1       Blue/White      Red
   | | | | +------- Tip Pair 1  1       White/Blue      Green
   | | | | | +----- Ring Pair 3 3       Green/White     Blue
   | | | | | | +--- Tip Pair 4  4       White/Brown     Brown
   | | | | | | | +- Ring Pair 4 4       Brown/White     Orange
So since the T1 one only uses 4 wires at the pole, assuming I maintain the same color codes for the 1100 ft run between the pole and the jack (black, yellow, green and red)...  The black goes to the white/orange, yellow goes to orange/white, green to white/blue and red to blue/white on the jack?  

Then from the jack I just use a standard cat 5 cable to the router which is only a 4 foot distance?

If all you're doing is extending the cable, you don't move any pins/conductors. Just straight through.
In other words, if you're just extending the line it you just take same pin to same pin.  Aside from ' standards ' it wouldn't technically matter what colors you used or if you crossed any pairs.

partially correct, the ISP helped resolve
