Even I got that one ;-).
Although I had to think about it carefully first as, just about as bad
as missing a joke, is assuming that something is one when it's not
;-).

My "best guess"  was that they left the roll lengths uncut so that
they could be reused without joining. Seemed rather unlikely.

The balun argument doesn't feel quite right.

The desire to maintain constant distance to customer for signal level
and time delay reasons makes some sense. Something I hadn't thought
of.

It must be "interesting" having to work with such wiring.
