When you run the correct pairs, the wires are twisted together. This is important for a variety of electrical reasons, too lengthy to cover here, but a quick google search will give you a lot of info if you care. If you use an ethernet cable, you are using a pair of wires that is not twisted together, removing the electrical advantage of twisted-pair cable.</div>
