Out of curiosity, I just stripped the jacket off of a cheap microphone

a second jacket inside the outside jacket. If the cable is the same as
the one at the link below, the inside jacket is a "Conductive PVC Shield."

It also states the purpose of the conductive PVC shielding is to reduce electrostatic ( ie handling ) noise.
How effective is the conductive PVC shield?
** Very effective at the stated purpose.
