I'm not familiar with this symbol.
Does it have a name? What does it imply when reading an electrical schematic?

Cables FL1000B20-WHT and FL1000B20-BLU are twisted pair with additional shield. Look at these symbols:

14\$\begingroup\$ Although I would have guessed 'twisted pair', I'm not familiar with these symbols. Where did you find them? Are they in a standard somewhere? \$\endgroup\$– brhansOct 19, 2016 at 20:25

Those could be indicating differential pairs. It simply requires you to twist that cable or keep it as close as close to each other on a PCB. It also needs to be approximately the same length to match their impedances.

To me, that symbol indicates that the two wires are a twisted pair, or possibly just a two-conductor cable, like lamp cord.
