How many pairs of wires are in a cable in a LAN cross connect?

In a standard LAN cross-connect, there are typically four pairs of wires in a cable, totaling eight individual wires. These pairs are usually twisted together to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Common cable types used for this purpose include Category 5e, Category 6, and Category 6a cables. Each pair is used for data transmission in Ethernet networks.

What are the active wires used in rj-45?

In an RJ-45 connector used for Ethernet networking, the active wires are typically the four twisted pairs of wires, totaling eight wires. For 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX Ethernet, only two pairs (four wires) are used: pins 1 and 2 for transmit and pins 3 and 6 for receive. In 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), all four pairs (eight wires) are utilized for simultaneous transmit and receive, allowing for higher data rates.
