10Base-T is a wiring standard for Ethernet over twisted pair.  It requires
2 pairs of wire, one for transmit and one for receive.  There are other,
non 10BaseT wiring methods out there, some using two pairs, some using one
pair.  If you are thinking of wiring up a new network, I'd stick with the
10Base-T standard.
