NEC 310.6 Solid conductors only?

[dmagbelusi]

NEC 310.6 states:
“Solid dielectric insulated conductors operated above 2000 volts in permanent installations shall have ozone-resistant insulation and shall be shielded. All metallic insulation shields shall be grounded through an effective grounding path meeting the requirements of 250.4(A)(5) or 250.4(B)(4). Shielding shall be for the purpose of confining the voltage stresses to the insulation.”


Can this be read to understand that only SOLID conductors are required to be shielded?

I think the word "solid" refers to the dielectric insulation, not the conductor within.
