A standard Ethernet LAN cable, such as a Category 5 (Cat 5) or Category 6 (Cat 6) cable, typically uses 8 pins in its connectors (RJ45). These pins are arranged in a specific order to transmit data. However, not all 8 pins are always used; for instance, 10Base-T and 100Base-TX Ethernet standards only utilize 4 of the 8 pins for data transmission. In contrast, 1000Base-T (Gigabit Ethernet) uses all 8 pins for transmitting data.
