Tab down, orange white, orange, green white, blue, blue white, green, brown white, brown.

But in all honestly as long as the cables match on either end it doesn't matter even in the slightest what color they actually are so I never understood why they used such weird pairing either.

    It matters for longer runs and higher speed. The twist provides noise cancellation effect

    It matters that you do the pairs right. CC-B-AA-B-DD. It doesn’t matter which color is which, except to make it easier to get the ends to match.

    I thought that you mean the color doesn't matter just that they match on the termination point, not as a pair. So you can have C with brown and green for example

    That you cannot do. Or at least you’ll have a lot of connectivity problems if you do.
