I hope that this link will help.
The 3 conductor wires do not need to be shielded (only insulated). The cable should have a screen that connects to the connector's case. I have seen cables which use 2 conductors and connect the screen to pin 1 at both ends thus using it for screen and ground. Not recommended.
If you have a cable that has shielded conductors they can be used but then you would need to find a way of connecting the shields to the connector chassis (case) as per the usual screen. Can be done but much more fiddling around.
