1. RG-59 is a rarely cooper over steel unless it is designed for certain aerial application. Fiber reinforced coax tends to be more often used in those applications. This images shows no signs of the steel core. 2. A coaxial cable is really a wave guide and thus referring to the outer conductor as a shield isn't accurate. 3. This particular images doesn't show any evidence of aluminium foil where the insulation is removed, Perhaps the aluminum seen on the isn't in the shield and added as a connection point? — Preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.116.102.98 (talk) 19:12, 26 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
