If I use T568B at the wall socket, does the other end need to be T568B as well?

For a normal straight-through Ethernet run, yes. If this end is terminated as T568B, use T568B at the far end as well; likewise for T568A.

Different runs can use different schemes, although a building full of mixed A and B terminations can become a small labyrinth to document for no real benefit.

Do I need a punchdown tool for these? What is the plastic strip sticking out of the top of the RJ45 module? Can I remove the blank spacers and fit another module later? Should I cut the plastic strip off the top of the module?
