Abstract
A flat cable has a plurality of electric wires disposed in parallel, and a fiber member woven to thread through each of the electric wires along a juxtapositional direction of the electric wires. The fiber member is made of a fiber having an elastic recovery rate after elongation of 80% or more and 95% or less. The fiber has an initial modulus of 20 cN/dtex or more and 30 cN/dtex or less.

A method for fabricating a flat cable, the method comprising:
- disposing a plurality of electric wires in parallel;
- weaving a fiber member comprising a fiber having an elastic recovery rate after elongation of 80% or more and 95% or less and an initial modulus of 20 cN/dtex or more and 30 cN/dtex or less to thread through each of the electric wires along a juxtapositional direction of the electric wires such that the plurality of electric wires are devoid of undulation;
- and
- heating the fiber member.
