I recently had FIOS Gigabit internet service brought into my home. I have the new Wi-Fi 6 gateway/router. I want to run a wired ethernet connection to a TV for streaming . I had technician install a male plug at one end of cable and will run to a female jack at wall plate. Can you tell me if Verizon uses the 568A or 568B configuration? I can't seem to make out which way the plug is wired.

Does this help? 568B tends to be more common.

I doubt anyone here knows if Verizon techs are mandated to use 568A or 568B or allowed to pick whatever makes sense for a particular install. Use the pictures Smith posted to try and figure it out - look for green or orange on outside connector and then you'll know.
Also, buy a cheap cable tester. That will let you verify correct wiring. You can find them for under $20 online.
Good Luck.
