Absolute overkill, and it appears that the construction style would lead
to HUGE capacitance levels.

Capacitance? Where? Not an issue between strands in the same conductor.
They are at the same potential. The capacitance between the two
conductors would be no worse than that of any stranded conductor twin
lead (zip cord).


** Get real - the strands of the two conductors are * interwoven * so
there is a large increase in cable capacitance over a comparable twin wire
lead. About 20 to 30 times.

But this extra C disappears if the cable is terminated in a zobel network
with R = 8.2 ohms.


This is (like?) Litz wire, used to keep skin effects and the resulting
higher a.c. resistance down.


** That is a side benefit of using interwoven strands - the primary reason
for which is to minimise cable inductance.
