Despite the fact that the cable appears to be functional (at least for the time being), I am forced to the conclusion that it is either not brand new or was previously returned. This is especially true given that the packaging allows the chord to be removed. I wouldn't take it from the point of view that it's being presented because such cables are notoriously erratic and frequently broken due to things like breakage, crooked hands, etc., but who would have thought?
