This looks pretty smart to me, although wire with lower voltage insulation
would be even smarter.
Besides the price, which is so low that it looks out-of-date, twisted
pair
is electrically slightly superior to paralell pair AKA zip cord. Slightly
less inductance, and FWIW reduced external field, and better rejection of
EMI.
