No, it isn't. The weave has a few purposes. It is MAINLY so that one
can pass the run under a rug, and it will lay fairly flat, compared to
that same circular mil area in a solid or stranded "single conductor"
pair, paralleled or twisted.


** The cable in my pic is 7mm round and will not compress as it has an inner
plastic core.

The inter weave is to reduce cable inductance to a minimum.


Another function is to quell external influences from changing an
instantaneous potential into a value it was not originally.


** Tin hat logic.


Another function is high flexibility with low capacity for mechanical
breakage.

** It is reasonably tough stuff.


So the main reason, electrically speaking is to get as much copper area
into as flat a lay as possible.


** It will not lay flat.
