Cable with abnormality sign detection function and wire abnormality sign detection system

Abstract

A cable with an abnormality sign detection function and a wire abnormality sign detection system that can perform stepwise detection of signs leading to breakage in a wire accurately. The cable contains a target wire containing a wire conductor and a wire covering that covers the conductor and a detection line containing a detection line conductor and a detection line covering that covers the detection line conductor, where the detection line conductor has a shorter flex life than the wire conductor and contains long-life elemental wires and short-life elemental wires having a shorter flex life than the long-life elemental wires, each of the long-life and short-life elemental wires containing a solid wire made of a conductive material and an insulation covering layer covering the solid wire, and in the detection line conductor, the short-life elemental wires are arranged in a layer around a bundle of the long-life elemental wires.
