I'm curious as to why both housings need grounding. Is the chassis not in parallel with one of the leads? Might actually increase noise with multiple paths if so. I'm not arguing but asking here.I'm unfamiliar with USB protocols or cable requirements.
The USB 2.0 standard specifically specifies that the shield needs to be connected to both housings. They don't specify the shield material so I suppose braided aluminum would work.
