Cable
A cable includes: a cable core including one or more electrical wires; a shield layer made of a metallic wire arranged on a periphery of the cable core; and a sheath arranged on a periphery of the shield layer. The metallic wire is made of a copper alloy wire made of a copper alloy containing indium, a content of which is equal to or more than 0.3 mass % and equal to or less than 0.65 mass %, and the metallic wire has tensile strength that is equal to or higher than 350 MPa and elongation that is equal to or higher than 7%.
