Need to Repair a USB Cable

This USB Cable is firmware connected to a Palm cradle. I can solder the wires back together, but how important is reestablishment of some shielding going to become?

Cladding is of course important to protect against EMI/RFI, but the cladding also helps add to the rigidity and strength of the cable as a whole.

Here is a short article on "making" a short USB cable - the pictures and instructions just as well apply.
