Consider my thoughts as pure conjecture. Automotive electronics often use the chassis as the return for power. For high power devices, you run one wire and tie the device's ground terminal to the chassis nearby. If the shield was terminated at both ends, would there be a risk of higher return currents flowing on that shield from other devices?

I guess that, e.g. in the auto environment, the risk of large shield currents is too great to allow routine grounding at both ends. But I suppose that grounding via a capacitor at the receiving end is not banned. If possible, this capacitor should be of the lowest possible inductance, which is not difficult with SMD, and if several capacitors are disposed radially around the end of the shield and grounded at their outer ends on a metal ring, the grounding should be good up to at least 1 GHz.

How does this work vs. meeting stringent rf RE and RS requirements at frequencies where cables are electrically long?
