2 x 22 awg conductors (colour coded)
Twisted winding geometry
Stranded dead soft annealed copper strands (7/30awg), tin-plated
Each conductor, double insulated with a cotton braid as the dielectric
36awg tinned copper braided shield (to be connected when a shielded or balanced XLR cable was needed)
Rayon/Nylon weaved outer jacket (black with red tracer)
Unit of Measure: Meter

The braided shield is a larger aggregate gauge than 36 AWG, which is the gauge of the individual strands. Unless a system is affected by gross EMI pollution, a braided shield is the most heavy-handed vs. a served shield like that of Mogami products, or a foil shield with drain wire, which also involve sonic trade-offs due to the shielding, as filters tend to do. The dual-layer served shield of Gotham is also heavy-handed unless the guaranteed benefit of full-coverage is required for a given application. The most minimal level of shielding (or none at all, as I prefer) tends to sound more open and dynamic, less dark, with better low-level detail, IME. Just keep the unshielded cables away from AC power cords, or cross them at right angles for minimal interaction of the line-level interconnect cables with the magnetic fields of the power cords. However as a rule of thumb, long-length interconnects should be shielded in some manner, IMO.
Pretty clear that the 36awg didn't make any sense. I should have mentioned it myself. Good clarification.
