Is this cord shielded?

No. It is unshielded, so keep runs short and away from ignition wiring to avoid picking up noise.

What is the rubberized jacket for?

It adds abrasion resistance and flexibility compared with a plain PVC jacket, which helps in cabs and cold weather.

It can work, but an unshielded cord picks up more noise over long runs. A fused, shielded cable is the safer choice for that.

No inline fuse is listed. Add one at the battery end if the radio does not have its own protection.

The listing does not specify the connector type. Check the plug on your radio and power source before ordering.
