Hi Everybody,

I ran a screw through a brand new USB 2 cable, long story. Exploratory
surgery reveals that the insulation is penetrated and maybe half of the
shield wires are broken, but the copper wire and the aluminum wrapped
thingie are untouched.

Is it shot or not? If it was a shielded audio or TV cable I would just
tape it up and not worry about it but I don't know a lot about USB.
