My recollection of the cabling at the place my baluns came from was

Someone else here on the list might come along and say that's out of
spec, but I've seen it in the real world.

No, it's a coaxial pair, not twisted pair.
And a Balun is
also "necessary" because of the impedence difference between the
cables.
Corrected.
What sort of cable is typically used in place of twinax when the BALUNs
are used?
