Optical illusion. Probably the flash from the camera has 'flared out' the yellow colouring.

It kind of looks that way, although the armor in SWA consists of steel strands spiral wrapped around the cable. This stuff looks more like tangled braid, as you'd find on some coaxial (R.F.) cables.

Maybe it's the optical effect again, making plastic strands appear to be metallic.

Here's British SWA in close-up:
