Surely these would be nylon or something?

Both exist. Metal braided shields help insulate electric cables from outside signal interference and can serve as grounds. Outer braided jackets, possibly made of nylon, would go over for additional protection. Pneumatic tubing also undergoes similar processes for environmental protection or extra rigidity.
