Patent ID: 8530745

Claim:
A cable, comprising: an insulated electric wire; a lateral winding layer formed by spirally winding an elemental wire having conductivity on a periphery of the insulated electric wire; a reversal lateral winding layer formed by spirally winding an elemental wire having conductivity in a direction intersecting with a winding direction of the lateral winding layer; a buffer layer formed between the lateral winding layer and the reversal lateral winding layer; and a sheath formed on a periphery of the reversal lateral winding layer, wherein a winding angle θ 1 to an axial direction of the insulated electric wire of the elemental wire forming the lateral winding layer and a winding angle θ 2 to an axial direction of the insulated electric wire of the elemental wire forming the reversal lateral winding layer are each an acute angle, wherein the winding angle θ 1 or the winding angle θ 2 is not less than 40 degrees, wherein an absolute value of a difference between the winding angle θ 1 and the winding angle θ 2 is not more than 20 degrees, and wherein the elemental wire forming the lateral winding layer and the elemental wire forming the reversal lateral winding layer are circular in cross section, respectively.
