## Abstract

A cable includes: plural cable sets each including a pair of core wires, a shielding layer covering the pair of core wires, and an outer layer covering the shielding layer; and plural fixing wires cross-braided outside the cable sets to keep the cable sets in a row position along a lateral direction.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A cable comprising:
a plurality of cable sets each including:
a pair of core wires;
a shielding layer covering the pair of core wires; and
an outer layer covering the shielding layer; and
a plurality of fixing wires cross-braided outside the outer layers of the plurality of cable sets to keep the cable sets in a row position along a lateral direction.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The cable as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fixing wire is twisted by fibers.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The cable as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fixing wire is made of non-conductive material.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The cable as claimed in claim 1, wherein the fixing wire is made of conductive material.

### Claim 5 (depends on 4)

The cable as claimed in claim 4, wherein each of the core wires includes an inner conductor and an insulating layer covering the inner conductor, the inner conductor is composed of a plurality of conductors, the inner conductor is selected from the group consisting of pure copper conductor, silver-plated copper conductor, and tin-plated copper conductor.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The cable as claimed in claim 5, wherein the insulating layer is selected from the group consisting of PP, PE, FEP, foamed PP, foamed PE, and foamed FEP.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The cable as claimed in claim 1, wherein the shielding layer is selected from the group consisting of aluminum foil, double-sided aluminum foil, copper foil, double-sided copper foil, pure aluminum tape, pure copper tape, semiconductor tape, and braided shielding tape.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The cable as claimed in claim 1, wherein the shielding layer covers the pair of core wires in a longitudinal wrapping manner or in a spiral winding manner.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The cable as claimed in claim 1, wherein each of the cable sets further comprises one ground wire or two ground wires disposed adjacent to the shielding layer.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The cable as claimed in claim 1, wherein the outer layer is a wrapping tape made of hot-adhesive PET.
