Abstract
A multi-core cable includes a core formed of four insulated wires twisted together, a shield layer, and a jacket. The four insulated wires are constituted by two first wires and two second wires. An outside diameter of each of the first wires is larger than an outside diameter of each of the second wires. In a cross-section of the core perpendicular to a longitudinal direction thereof, a center of each of the first wires is positioned on a first diagonal line of a quadrangular shape formed by a line connecting centers of the four insulated wires, and a center of each of the second wires is positioned on a second diagonal line of the quadrangular shape. The first wires are in contact with each other, and in contact with the second wires adjacent to the first wires.
Claims3
A multi-core cable comprising:
- a core formed of four insulated wires twisted together;
- a shield layer disposed on an outer side of the core;
- and
- a jacket disposed on an outer side of the shield layer,
- wherein the four insulated wires are constituted by two first wires and two second wires,
- wherein an outside diameter of each of the first wires is larger than an outside diameter of each of the second wires, and
- wherein, in a cross-section of the core perpendicular to a longitudinal direction of the core, a center of each of the two first wires is positioned on a first diagonal line of a quadrangular shape that is formed by a line connecting centers of the four insulated wires, and a center of each of the two second wires is positioned on a second diagonal line of the quadrangular shape, the two first wires being in contact with each other, the first wires being in contact with the second wires disposed adjacent along an outside circumference of the core to the first wires.
