repairing an rca cable question

[blackbonnie 5,000+ posts]

recently when taking one of my rca cables out, the wire detached from the plug. my question is are there 2 wires that connect to the cable or just one wire? i can see one wire clearly but the other part looks just like shielding but on the plug it looks like there are 2 solder connections. i have no problem soldering it back together but i wanna make sure i do it right. and tips, tutorials, pics, suggestions, or answers to my question? thanks for the help

the outside looks like sleeving though, how do you go about soldering that?

it looks like it is woven together kind of how techflex is. thats what it reminded me of just smaller

there should be a small wire in the middle which is +. then wrapping that should be a braided mesh looking wire which is -. just pull it back enough to twist it and resolder.
