Communication cable

Abstract

A communication cable 1 is provided with a conductor 2, an insulation layer 3 containing an organic polymer and covering an outer periphery of the conductor 2, a metal foil 5 for covering an outer periphery of the insulation layer 3, and a magnetic sheath layer 7 containing an organic polymer and a powdered magnetic material and covering an outer periphery of the metal foil 5. A tensile modulus of elasticity of the magnetic sheath layer 7 is lower than that of the insulation layer 3. Assuming that an organic polymer having a melting point of 100° C. or lower is a low melting point polymer and a mass ratio of the low melting point polymer to organic polymer components constituting each layer is a low melting point component ratio, the low melting point component ratio is larger in the magnetic sheath layer 7 than in the insulation layer 3.
