Composite power cable

Abstract

To provide a low price, easy to produce, and easy to lay composite power cable, comprised of a pipe (4) able to receive a communication cable such as an optical fiber and an insulated conductor (3). A plurality of insulated conductors (3) each comprised of a conductor (1) and an insulator (2) and at least one pipe (4) are arranged in a line in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and are covered all together by a covering (7) when arranged in a straight line in the longitudinal direction. Preferably, an outer diameter of the pipe is made not more than 1.2 times the maximum value of an outer diameter of an insulated conductor arranged adjacently. More preferably, grooves are provided in the longitudinal direction of the cable in the two side surfaces in a width direction of the flat-shaped covering.
