A flex is indeed a shortening of flexible cable or flexible wire, and
normally implies a stranded construction. However a 6mm^2 T&E cable is
also stranded.

It's stranded but not flexible, the strands are too thick for that. Hence it's cable not flex.

says it's flexible.

But it's not a flex!


Indeed, because while it is to some extent flexible, it's not flexible enough for use as a flex. It's just flexible enough to make getting it into its fixed position easier.
