Explanation:
I find the use of the word 'wires' here really peculiar — I would have expected 'conductors' for example, but to suggest that this PCB (which is apparently what is being very long-windedly described?) contains actual 'wire' would be most bizarre.

It's really hard to know for sure, without a bit more of the wider context...
