Is this Hybrid cable?

Cable Asylum

Interconnects, speaker wire, power cords. Ask the Cable Guys.

I am confused as to what this is

; all comments aside regarding Zaolla. What is this cable accoding to both teh diagram and this comment from them:
"Our analog audio cables have oxygen-free copper braided shields. These are terminated to ground and conduct no signal.
Analog audio interconnects benefit from having some copper in the signal path, so the solid-silver center conductor is surrounded by 37AWG Ohno continuous-cast copper ancillary conductors. We believe that this produces the best balance between the sparkling highs of silver and the powerful mids of copper.
Zaolla Silverline digital audio cables, video cables, and speaker cables contain only silver, no copper, in the signal chain."
I was under the impression that the copper shield here carries the signal as well as the silver core. Granted I have a sub-rudimentary understanding of cable design/geometery.
