Patent ID: 7256345

Claim:
A cable, comprising: a cable body including a plurality of elastomer sheets having non-electroconductivity, each of said elastomer sheets having a pair of wide ends and a narrow intermediate portion integrally connected to and provided between the ends; m rows of rectangular elastomer regions having electroconductivity being arrayed on each of the pair of said wide ends, each one of the rectangular elastomer regions forming a rectangular bar member embedded into a respective leading end portion of the pair of wide ends; and k patterns (wherein k is a number equal to or less than m) of transmission paths connecting said rectangular elastomer regions by extending between connected ones of the transmission paths of respective ones of the rectangular elastomer regions through said narrow intermediate portion; wherein n layers (wherein n is a number equal to or less than m) of said plurality of elastomer sheets are layered such that the rectangular elastomer regions of the upper and lower layers are mutually in contact, and connected with said external connecting terminals by pressuring said external connecting terminals against both ends of said elastomer sheets which have been layered.
