The capacitance of the cable is affected by the length and how close the inner conductor is to the surrounding shield. As this performs the same function as a capacitors dielectric (acting as a very poor dielectric) ... with this in mind you could disconnect the shield from both jacks and then use alloy tape to shield the cable and complete the ground connection externally if the cable uses metal jacks.
Never tried it, could have handling noise but would certainly have less capacitance as long as the tape has a very low resistance.
I have never, ever found a cables capacitance to be an issue though unless it's more than 4 metres. Generally it's other things like poor shielding, shit jacks, handling noise etc. Sure some so knock a tiny bit of treble off but nothing that makes much difference unless the amp has no tone controls
DM me if you’re interested.

Surprisingly, Neutriks are actually some of the worst, and cheap ‘pancake’ plugs some of the best. Among the best of all are those super-cheap moulded plastic ones you get in packets of six different colours… really . (OK, that’s because they’re not very well shielded, it’s a trade-off.)
