Abstract

A cable having a cable structure comprising a stranded wire formed by stranding a plurality of stranded conductors and an inclusion that is more deformable than the stranded conductors, wherein a plurality of stranded conductors are arranged on a circumference of the inclusion.

Claims (32)

1. A cable, comprising:

a cable structure comprising a stranded wire formed by stranding a plurality of stranded conductors;

an inclusion that is more deformable than said stranded conductor,

wherein said inclusion has a Shore hardness of 45±5, and

wherein said plurality of stranded conductors are annularly arranged so as to cover said inclusion, with said plurality of stranded conductors being spaced apart from each other, when viewed in cross-section; and

an insulating layer arranged on the circumference of said stranded conductors,

wherein said stranded conductors are in contact with said inclusion and said insulating layer and each have an outer diameter greater than that of said inclusion.

2. The cable according to claim 1 , wherein said inclusion is made of resin.

3. The cable according to claim 1 , wherein said inclusion is given a tube form.

4. The cable according to claim 1 , wherein said inclusion is given a tube form.

5. The cable according to claim 1 , wherein said inclusion is a yarn made up of stranded plural fiber threads.

6. The cable according to claim 1 , wherein said fiber thread is a staple fiber thread.

7. The cable according to claim 1 , wherein a circumference of said insulating layer is covered with a shielding layer composed of a conductive material.

8. The cable according to claim 1 ,

wherein a periphery of said shielding layer is covered with a reinforced braid layer composed of a fiber, and

wherein a circumference of said reinforced braid layer is covered with a sheath composed of a resin.

9. A cable, comprising:

a cable structure comprising a master stranded wire formed by stranding a plurality of slave stranded wires each of which is made up of a plurality of stranded conductors;

an inclusion that is more deformable than said slave stranded wire,

wherein said inclusion has a Shore hardness of 45±5, and

wherein said plurality of slave stranded wires are annularly arranged so as to cover said inclusion, with said plurality of slave stranded wires being spaced apart from each other, when viewed in cross-section; and

an insulating layer arranged on the circumference of said slave stranded wires,

wherein said slave stranded wires are in contact with said inclusion and said insulating layer and each have an outer diameter greater than that of said inclusion.

10. The cable according to claim 9 , wherein said inclusion is made of resin.

11. The cable according to claim 9 , wherein said inclusion is given a tube form.

12. The cable according to claim 9 , wherein said inclusion is given a tube form.

13. The cable according to claim 9 , wherein said inclusion is a yarn made up of stranded plural fiber threads.

14. The cable according to claim 9 , wherein said fiber thread is a staple fiber thread.

15. The cable according to claim 9 , wherein a circumference of said insulating layer is covered with a shielding layer composed of a conductive material.

16. The cable according to claim 9 ,

wherein a periphery of said shielding layer is covered with a reinforced braid layer composed of a fiber, and

wherein a circumference of said reinforced braid layer is covered with a sheath composed of a resin.
