This is unjacketed 6 pair telephone wire. We call this particular type of wire “E Wire”. It’s a type of inside wire used for telephone service in houses and apartments in the 1960s and 70s. It’s probably original to the house. It probably runs through your attic, and dips down to your phone jacks in the walls. Not useful for much except telephone service. Anything more than that will need to be a “home run” from device to device.
