Does anyone know what this threaded material to the right on the picture is?

Does it have anything to do with grounding?

It's used to strengthen the cable so tension is on that string when it's being pulled.

It has nothing to do with grounding or shielding -- those have to be metal, or metalised plastic.

Cables often have all kinds of filler materials to do with

• Manufacturing processes


• Handling properties


• Strength

Do you have a reference for the cable?
