Seems the CW1308 cable had no twists in it.

In that case it wasn't CW1308, perhaps CW1311 (the flat D profile
stuff)...

The major difference between CW1308 and Cat5 is the number of twists
per unit length. Cat5 has a much tighter twist.

In fact if you take a bit apart sometime you'll see that each pair has a
differing twist rate, some are more twisted than others

Keeps crosstalk down.....
