An aluminum sleeve would also have mechanical resonances, which would have to be dealt with separately. As a good conductor, though, it would reflect RF.Carbon fiber in an area where the standing waves have high values of electric field will dissipate energy from the standing waves. Thus, a CF wall plate will complement a sleeve containing CF to increase the dissipation for standing waves on the cord.
I don't know the relative balance of CF and conductors in the subject sleeve, so I don't know whether it would mostly reflect or absorb energy. I believe a sleeve made mostly of CF would absorb the energy that reaches it. It looks black to visible light and would look black to radio waves. This is similar in concept to stealth aircraft technology.
