I'd be interested in that too. He mentioned 'EMC attenuating cables'. I imagine that those act as in-line filters, attenuating EMI which is propagating along the cables, rather than simply as shielded (if that's the right word) cables which attenuate EMI as it tries to leak into them. Shielding would be of limited use given that most of the length of any mains cable is made up of twin-and-earth hidden in the wall plaster or running in conduit or above/below a suspended ceiling/floor.

Cheers,
