You can see 8 tails right away. The 9th tail ends under the 4th (counted from the bottom). The 10th tail is a bit tricky: If you check where the 9th tail ends and where the ripples starting on the 1st cable (counted from bottom) -> that would be a very long RJ-45 plug also: how would you create a 9 tailed whip when all cables wrap around at the other end..?

The one I have hanging up upstairs was designed so that each pair of cables had a specific (and useful) pinout. The cable with a connector on the hilt was a straight pass-through. There was a crossover cable, one set up for interfacing with Cisco kit and I'm embarrassed to say that I don't remember the rest of the pinouts. These have been around since the 90s.
