You mean like how you can run sensitive lines through (grounded) conduit for noise isolation?The question is since the shield is terminated at the source side does the noise go back to ground through the source or proceed along the same ground terminal that is connected to the destination component? It seems like it would be easy to test with one of the cables like that purposely put in a very 'noisy' environment and switch which end the ground is on.
I'm going to be pissed when someone uses my idea and makes a high dollar cable like this, but why don't they have the shielding only connected to an external ground or even sent through a 'noise harvester' type setup to remove the noise. Think how much they could charge for that.
