How did it make it out the door is a good question.
The first thing we do not know is, what is the Accept / Reject criteria? Quality Assurance and Engineering often bump heads. QA's stand is; "all we want is what is states in black and white, no more, no less. Some Engineering folks will focus on; Form, Fit and Function. The discussion / argument would be; A. does the braided wire have any separations that would interfere with the function, intent and purpose of the braid? B. Will the distorted braided cable jeopardize the function and purpose of the braid? C. Will the bulge in the outer casing interfere with the Form, Fit and Function? Probably not if the completed cable assembly was tested and accepted with the distorted braid and bulging outer casing. Now we have a aesthetic / cosmetic issue which the end product user (the customer) does not want. The QA question would be, what is the accept / reject criteria for external bulges? I am assuming ABR would pay to have the cable returned so as it can be evaluated and used as a training aid and provide you with a non-bulged coax to you free of charge. The ball is in their court and remember; "the dog wags the tail, the tail don't wag the dog".
Several years ago, the front passenger side power window on my new truck operated slower than the driver's side. window. The dealership's "technical advisor" told me, "it is going up and down smoothly without binding, therefore we will not address the problem". Wrong answer! They installed a new power window motor.
