CABLE SHIELDING

A cable shielding and an electrical conductor having such a cable shielding are provided. The cable shielding has a first wire winding and a second wire winding. The first wire winding has a plurality of turns. The first wire winding is wound in a first direction with a first pitch about a longitudinal axis. The second wire winding has a plurality of turns. The second wire winding is wound in a second direction, which is different from the first direction, with a second pitch about the longitudinal axis. Turns of the plurality of turns of the first wire winding and corresponding turns of the plurality of turns of the second wire winding cross one another in each case at a first crossing point in such a way that a plurality of first crossing points of the first wire winding and the second wire winding are present in the direction of the longitudinal axis. The plurality of first crossing points run at least approximately helically in the direction of the longitudinal axis.
