Man, coax goes berserk when the shield breaks down. A good example is CCTV, some buffoon at my old work thought it would be smart to order copper shielded coax, and use steel crimp ends in a tropical area. It was a few years but the moisture caused electrolysis between the dissimilar metals, and the copper shield disintegrated. In the space of around 6 months the CCTV feeds started to fail. It was fun replacing all of the coax with fibre.
