Abstract

A cable includes at least one core that has a conductor and an insulating coating layer that covers the conductor; and a sheath layer that covers the at least one core. The sheath layer includes an inner sheath layer and an outer sheath layer that covers the inner sheath layer. The inner sheath layer contains a silane-crosslinked very low density polyethylene. A main component of the outer sheath layer is polyurethane; a content of the very low density polyethylene per 100 parts by mass of a resin component in the inner sheath layer is 20 parts by mass or more and 100 parts by mass or less. A content of silicon atoms constituting silane crosslinks in the very low density polyethylene is 0.05 mass % or more and 1 mass % or less.

Claims (5)

1. A cable comprising at least one core that has a conductor and an insulating coating layer that covers the conductor; and a sheath layer that covers the at least one core,

wherein the sheath layer includes an inner sheath layer and an outer sheath layer that covers the inner sheath layer; the inner sheath layer contains a silane-crosslinked very low density polyethylene; a main component of the outer sheath layer is polyurethane; a content of the very low density polyethylene per 100 parts by mass of a resin component in the inner sheath layer is 20 parts by mass or more and 100 parts by mass or less; and a content of silicon atoms constituting silane crosslinks in the very low density polyethylene is 0.05 mass % or more and 1 mass % or less.

2. The cable according to claim 1 , wherein the inner sheath layer further contains a non-crosslinked resin.

3. The cable according to claim 2 , wherein the non-crosslinked resin is a copolymer of ethylene and a vinyl monomer containing an ester bond.

4. The cable according to claim 1 , wherein the polyurethane in the outer sheath layer is an allophanate-crosslinked polyurethane.
