Yes.  Conductor colors and pin terminations are per the standard 
TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2000:

Most factory-made Ethernet patch cables I've seen use T568B on both 
ends.  That's how I make my cables.


Crossover cables use T568B on one end and T568A on the other.


> Q2) again cabling.. i know what is the color order of straight and crossover cabling. BUT: what are the color orders, when i need to create physically two separated networks?

Use a separate cable for each network connection.


I buy Category 5e riser cable for use with Fast and/or Gigabit Ethernet.


You will want a crimp tool, connectors, and cable tester.  My local home 
improvement store (Home Depot) carries products made by Ideal:

The Ideal LinkMaster Tester remote unit includes a useful T568A and 
T568B wiring diagram printed on its face.
