German term or phrase: paarig verseilt
Again, very little context - this is from a spec sheet on cable for connecting a torque transducer.
"Bemerkung: Pos 3 Adern am offenen Ende verdrillt und verzinnt; Adern paarig verseilt."
Does this mean the conductors on the open end of the cable are twisted and solder-coated, and stranded in pairs?

Thanks in advance for any help.

you are correct
Explanation:

verdrillt = twisted

verzinnte Ader = tinned wire/conductor
I guess solder coated works too :-)

Adern paarig verseilt = stranded in pairs

Since the points can't be split, they go to gwolf for his fast answer. but thanks to Ken for the refinements. I did use tinned, by the way, based on gwolf's answer.
thanks again to you both.

Explanation:
gwolf is welcome to the points, but a couple of tips:

1) yes, definitely 'tinned', not 'solder-coated" [the reader might think you're talking about some kind of cake :<) ]

2) 'pairwise stranded' is the real techtalk
