Shim wire
In most cases, the filler wire is a tinned copper wire that should be in contact with the aluminium layer of the shield over the entire length of the wires or cable. It must lie very loosely (corrugated) on the cable core so that it does not break off when the wires are bent. The drain wire should bridge any shield breaks. (All information without guarantee)
