The major difference between CW1308 and Cat5 is the number of

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


This is true and had slipped my mind, either way even the loosest Cat5
pair has a higher twist rate than CW1308 which uses the same rate in
each pair.
