The 2 pair (4 wires) look to be of a thicker guage same though guage as the cat5e wiring. Looks like the wiring guy mixed all of it together (smokes too?). The blue and white wires could be loops related to zones. It does not appear to be plenum rated from what I can tell. Looking at your picture the cat5e appears to be of the older type with easier to see colored wires. It was really a bit of a fire hazard and it didn't make sense to me other than maybe it was done on the "cheap", non qualified installer and quickly? I put an electrical box in the wall redoing the HV wiring such that it went into the wall and into the box. The installer had literally pulled electric down from the attic leaving the bare wires and wrapping them around the terminals of the alarm panel transformer then putting black tape on this setup. Thing that really bugged me was it was really a mickey mouse set up. I redid the roomed loops and ended up with about 6 zones. I removed and disconnected all of the cabling tracing each wire one by one back to the panel. That said I noticed that the wiring loops were done in the rooms in the ranch style home. I helped a neighbor in Florida replacing and installing a new Omni Pro II replacing their legacy panel a few years back.
