Default Dynam sim controller cable reacting with floor-jerky

This Dynam sim controller cable seems to react with the floor. It acts like its picking up a radio signal. It then makes your model jerk violently. It is a USB. It works fine when the cable is held off the floor. This what I have found so far. Comments welcome...

The floor itself most likely has nothing to do with it. The most probable reason is the there is a bad contact either at the controller end or the usb end that gets alleviated by lifting the cord.
The cord itself is shielded and cannot receive interference from anything other than a very powerful source.

Default more tests

I looked and the insulation is only made of black plastic. There are 3 wires underneath and nothing else. It also reacts by getting yourself close to the cord at certain positions without moving the cord at all.

That is strange indeed.
The black outside covering isn't used for shielding though. The wires inside are twisted as they run the length of the cable ( at least the should be ). The twisting of the wires provides the shielding in the same way as Ethernet cable or telephone wires.
My daughter uses the same setup as you seem to have and has no issues.
This is most likely an isolated incident or many more users would have complained.
My bet is still on a bad connection somewhere.
