Cable Shielding Misunderstandings

The story, as I have been told it, is that the
braid, and the conductive layer on the foil, don't make particularly
good (or continuous) contact.

Hi Dave,

I've seen this exact same statement expressed in regard to problems
introduced by the weave of wires in the shield of coax. And yet your
story teller relates that doubling the amount of shielding with woven
wires is the preferred solution.

Given the elaborate logic one must invest their faith in, for the one
explanation to make sense in regard to foil and then to be wholly
unremarkable in woven wire seems to make this rather apocryphal.
