Interesting. The picture does show four twisted pairs. As I understand it, it is very important that the pairs are twisted. Otherwise there will be EMI issues. Perhaps what you have is the product of a manufacturing problem? I would contact the manufacturer and ask why the pairs are not twisted, when they should be.
