The shield can achieve adequate coverage with lots of fine copper.
But coverage drops when too little copper is used.
I can't see any Blue Jeans data for shield resistance.
A general guide is that shield resistance is very approximately 50% to 25% of the core resistance.
Those two numbers (core and shield resistances) give a good guide to how much copper is in the cable.
It is important even for short cables.

Surprisingly (to me
those plugs are Far better in real life than their provenance suggests. I've bought those in the past (cheaper as made cables than the individual purchase of even those V inexpensive RCAs')
Certainly Not Soundcraft items, but decent /usable.
Add in a bit of ones' wire preference for quick easy DIY cables.
As above; spend savings on preferred Intoxicants Or Gawd Forbid; recordings
From the above BJC web-page.
LC-1 Audio Cable Specs:
Resistance, shield: 1.7 ohms/1000 feet
**************************************
Oh, I see! for the other cables, you have to hunt around.
Subwoofer Cables from Blue Jeans Cable
Canare LV-77S:
Resistance, shield: >1.8 ohms/1000 feet
Belden 1505F:
Resistance, shield: 2.4 OHMS/1000 FT
Belden 1695A Coax:
Resistance, shield: 2.8 OHMS/1000 FT.

Sorry, I mis-remembered that they were all on the same page.

Note that Bill Whitlock recommends the equivalent of about 14AWG which is 2.5 Ohm/ 1000 feet.

Bruno Putzeys suggested a much heaver shield on a DIY cable:
Take a coaxial cable, take the jacket (sheath) off and dress it in a number of extra layers of shield salvaged from other cables. Hear the sound improve...
