The write-up for this cable says that it's coaxial and shielded (the cable jacket is also imprinted with the word, "shielded"). However, it's neither coaxial nor shielded -- just three insulated conductors twisted together under a plastic jacket. Furthermore, those conductors are so delicate that normal use of the cable breaks them. I found all of this out when two of the three conductors in my cable failed and I thought that the problem was likely in one of the connectors. So I started to replace it, then realized what a worthless piece of junk I was dealing with and threw the whole thing in the trash. Save your money!
