4 pairs of wires.
It is not a complete necessity to have a gigabit Ethernet switch but it will increase processing speed to 1,000 Mbits per second. Earlier forms of the Ethernet switches were in the 10 to 100 megabit range.

Gigabit = 1,000,000,000 bps (bits per second) = 125,000,000 Bps (Bytes per second) = 125 MBps (Megabytes per second (10^3)) = 119.209... MiBps (Mebibytes per second (2^10)) 10 Gigabit = 10,000,000,000 bps (bits per second) = 1,250,000,000 Bps (Bytes per second) = 1.25 GBps (Gigabytes per second (10^3)) = 1.164... GiBps (Gibibytes per second (2^10)) The difference is obvious. 10 Gigabit = 10 x Gigabit or 10:1 Gigabit Ethernet is behind, it's less than 1/4 the speed of USB 3.0. Regardless of availability of 1Gb+ Internet, there are many across the network uses for having 10Gb+ Ethernet. It's standard to have routers 1Gbps wired, and 300Mbps wireless, but nothing above for consumers. You will have to wait.
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.
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.
ethernet cables are used to connect many items. Such as:Printer to computer,Ps3 to laptop,ps3 to router
In many cases it does, but I have purchased them both ways.
When using a straight through cable for networking, only 3 pairs are used.
The question makes no sense. A cable cannot have volts in it. Voltage is measured across an element. I assume that you are asking what the voltage between the signal lines and the answer is dependent on what you are connected to. Gigabit ethernet is one level, 10/100 is another and so on.
Four pairs. Only one pair required for normal LAN operation though.
Yes, 2.5km is the maximal operating range of ethernet, or basically 5 repeaters. Repeaters known as repeaters are cheap but rare, but a switch will do the same thing...since signal conditioning is part of their basic funtionality. Beyond 2.5km, you will need a fiberoptic backbone. If your looking into gigabit, you will need high quality cable and straight runs....but mostly repeaters have to be put in at 100m in a corporation to achieve a full gigabit thoughput, otherwise the switch will reneg down to 100..
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cables can support lengths of up to 100 meters (328 feet) for Ethernet applications, such as 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX. For higher-speed standards like 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), the maximum recommended length is also 100 meters. Beyond this distance, signal quality can degrade, leading to potential data loss or reduced performance.
