Stranded conductors are made up of many smaller solid conductors. In order to bunch the solid conductors to make the stranded wire they have to be held together. The simplest way of doing this is to twist them together. Once the solid wires are twisted together they are drawn through a machine that applies the insulation coating which holds the solid wires together. The final result is a insulated stranded conductor that has good flexibility. With this flexibility multiple stranded conductors can be easily be drawn through conduit systems that incorporate up to four 90 degree bends between junction boxes.

Why are the wires twisted in twisted pair cabling?

In multi pair cable sets, for example a Cat. 5 cable, the wires of each pair are twisted to prevent mutual induction into the other cable pairs. The tighter the twist, the less amount of induction into the other cable pairs.
