A braided wire is less likely to break than a solid wire. Also it can bend sharp corners easier than solid wire.

The use of braided wire is to act as a shield on analog cable sets. The braid can be 50%, 75% or 100% shielding. The braid is grounded only at one end so as not to conduct a current through mutual inductance from other wires. Its function is to protect the signal wires in its cable from magnetic interference from adjacent non shielded cables. The wires inside the shielded cable are stranded where as the braided shield is very fine solid wire woven together to form a shield over the entire cable set. Another example of a braided wire would be a coaxial cable.
