that is a picture of what they look like on the ends

Answer 3

Yes, in a Straight-Through ethernet cable, both ends are identical and can be plugged in either way.

Only one caveat, make sure that you have a straight-through ethernet cable!  It should say it on the cable.  If you have a straight through, the colored wires will be in the same sequence on both sides.  If you have a cross-over ethernet cable two pairs of colored wires will be swapped.  If you bought the cable yourself from a local store, there is a 99% chance that it is a straight-through cable.

Answer 4

yes they are the same

Answer 5

Yes. They are exactly the same.
