The inclusion is arranged along the electric wire. The tape is wound around an outer periphery of an aggregate of the electric wire and the inclusion. The sheath entirely covers the aggregate and the tape. Here, a material for the inclusion is harder than a fluororesin material constituting the sheath. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A fluororesin cable, comprising: at least one electric wire having a central conductor covered with an insulator; at least one inclusion made of a resin arranged along the at least one electric wire; a tape made of a resin wound around an outer periphery of an aggregate of the at least one electric wire and the at least one inclusion; and a sheath made of a fluororesin entirely covering the aggregate and the tape, a material for the at least one inclusion being harder than a fluororesin material constituting the sheath. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The fluororesin cable according to claim 1, wherein the sheath has a thickness of more than or equal to 0.3 mm and less than or equal to 1.05 mm. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The fluororesin cable according to claim 1, wherein the at least one inclusion is rod-shaped. ### Claim 4 (depends on 2) The fluororesin cable according to claim 2, wherein the at least one inclusion is rod-shaped. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The fluororesin cable according to claim 1, wherein the fluororesin cable comprises a plurality of inclusions as the at least one inclusion, and the plurality of inclusions are a plurality of bundled cord-shaped inclusions, and are provided around the at least one electric wire. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) The fluororesin cable according to claim 2, wherein the fluororesin cable comprises a plurality of inclusions as the at least one inclusion, and the plurality of inclusions are a plurality of bundled cord-shaped inclusions, and are provided around the at least one electric wire. ### Claim 7 An electronic device, comprising: a casing; a circuit board embedded in the casing; and a fluororesin cable, the fluororesin cable including at least one electric wire having a central conductor covered with an insulator, at least one inclusion made of a resin arranged along the at least one electric wire, a tape made of a resin wound around an outer periphery of an aggregate of the at least one electric wire and the at least one inclusion, and a sheath made of a fluororesin entirely covering the aggregate and the tape, a material for the at least one inclusion being harder than a fluororesin material constituting the sheath, the sheath of the fluororesin cable being fixed to the casing with a sealing member being interposed therebetween, each central conductor of the fluororesin cable being electrically connected with the circuit board. ### Claim 8 (depends on 7) The electronic device according to claim 7, wherein the sheath has a thickness of more than or equal to 0.3 mm and less than or equal to 1.05 mm. ### Claim 9 (depends on 7) The electronic device according to claim 7, wherein the at least one inclusion is rod-shaped. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) The electronic device according to claim 9, wherein the sealing member is made of a resin welded to the sheath of the fluororesin cable or made of a resin formed on the sheath by injection molding. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The electronic device according to claim 8, wherein the at least one inclusion is rod-shaped. ### Claim 12 (depends on 7) The electronic device according to claim 7, wherein the fluororesin cable includes a plurality of inclusions as the at least one inclusion, and the plurality of inclusions are a plurality of bundled cord-shaped inclusions, and are provided around the at least one electric wire. ### Claim 13 (depends on 12) The electronic device according to claim 12, wherein the sealing member includes a bush or an O ring. ### Claim 14 (depends on 8) The electronic device according to claim 8, wherein the fluororesin cable includes a plurality of inclusions as the at least one inclusion, and the plurality of inclusions are a plurality of bundled cord-shaped inclusions, and are provided around the at least one electric wire.
