Abstract
A tube sheet is formed by integrating a plurality of tubes into the form of a sheet. The tube sheet is constricted in junction portions of the respective tubes so that the tube sheet is deformed in these junction portions. At least one such tube sheet is disposed around a center member to form a tube-aggregated cable.
