I thought "Twinax" was an IBMish MILSPEC term.
twinax could refer to a specific technology or to the presence of dual inner conductors e.g. in contrast to coax or triax.
Rather specifically, Twinax refers to cable with 2 center conductors in it's foam or plastic insulator *both within the same shield* -- generally, I think always, a balanced pair.
