That depends on what kind of connection you are running. If you use it with 100Mb connection you are using only 2 pairs. If you use it with 1GB+ connection you are using all 4 pairs or 8 wires.
4 pairs of wires.
A UTP cable has 4 pairs of twisted wires. In a coaxial cable, there are two conductors, one inside the other. Since they have a common center, or axis, they are called "coaxial" (co-axial).A UTP cable has 4 pairs of twisted wires. In a coaxial cable, there are two conductors, one inside the other.

the twisting of the wires in the cable
A link test just confirms that there is voltage on wires 1,2,3, and 6. The active wires in the cable.
Most UTP cable is limited to 100 meters.
to ensure good electrical contact
Actually, a UTP cable doesn`t have any shielding. UTP stands for Unshielded Twisted Pair.
Typically a straight thru UTP cable can be used.
it is a point where a UTP cable connects to the device
Seven different UTP Cable.. Category 3, Category 4, Category 5, Category 5e, Category 6, Category 6e, & Category 7...

Which of the UTP cable categories is recommended as 100Base T media? CAT2,CAT3,CAT4,CAT5
