The present disclosure describes various devices and methods for the reconstruction or restoration of a metallic shield of a cable, which provide a holding feature for simplifying the installation of an electrically-conductive member on the metallic shield and improving the reliability of the connection. Both factory-supplied and field-installable holding features are described. 1. A device for connecting to a metallic shield of a cable , comprising: an electrically-conductive member comprising a metal braid; and a holding feature comprising a constant force spring.2. The device of claim 1 , further comprising an unwinding feature configured for grasping and pulling to install the constant force spring.3. The device of claim 2 , wherein the unwinding feature comprises a loop.4. The device of claim 2 , wherein the unwinding feature is disposed through an axial opening of the constant force spring.5. The device of claim 2 , wherein the unwinding feature is fixed to the constant force spring.6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive member comprises copper.7. The device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive member is tin plated.8. The device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive member is fixed to the constant force spring by a fastening feature.9. The device of claim 8 , wherein the fastening feature comprises a rivet.10. The device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive member is fixed to the constant force spring without a fastening feature.11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the constant force spring includes a slit claim 10 , and the conductive member is threaded through the slit and bent to secure thereto.12. The device of claim 1 , wherein the conductive member is fixed to the constant force spring via a sheet.13. The device of claim 12 , wherein the sheet is fixed to the constant force spring by a first fastening feature claim 12 , and the conductive member is fixed to the sheet by a second fastening feature claim 12 , wherein at least one of the first ...
