Identifying tape

[theyikes@gmail]

Hi I'm not a qualified professional electrician but I do repair laptops and pc's. Anyway my question is this. On a couple of cables there's a piece of tape. It looks to be woven from wire fibres and it's silver / grey in colour.
Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
I'd appreciate it someone could help me out.

It's likely non conductive, heat resistant tape - View: https://www.amazon.com/Insulating-Acetate-Adhesive-Laptop-Transformer/dp/B01E8W9XEO


kapton(Polyimide) tapes are also good for taping cables or other elements in place in mobile/laptop repaires

There are various woven metal wire fabrics and materials that are used for electrical shielding, usually to prevent radiofrequency interference escaping. As above, post a pic for more specific info.

Perhaps some sort of semi conductive device? Grounding?

is it a Black Sabbath tape, bit of heavy metal?
