Paul, do the math. Each wire is at a ~45 degree angle to center. Their
total offset from each other is ~90 degrees.


I meant 45 degrees total. I'm looking at one right now and there is no way
they cross at a 90 degree angle or or even have a 90 degree total offset.




Cause it could get ugly. The issue everyone will miss entirely is that
twisted pair offers better sheilding than plain wire, but that it's not
that big of a deal. Most causes of noise have little to do with radiated
noise, and more to do with fault equipment and most commonly, poor
installation.



I agree with this as well. This discussion would be be best left alone as
long as the benefits are noted.
