A toothed cable comprising: a core cable; a wire disposed spirally around the core cable at a fixed pitch; and a strand having a core thread and piles fixed to the core thread, the strand being disposed spirally along a groove having side walls and a bottom, the side walls and the bottom being formed by the wire and the core cable, and the piles extending radially outward from the core thread such that a spacing between distal ends of the piles about the circumference of the core thread is larger than a spacing between proximal ends of the piles proximate to the core thread; the toothed cable being obtained by a manufacturing method including: disposing a meltable filament thread in the groove, disposing the strand in the groove with tension, after the filament thread is disposed, melting the filament thread after the strand is disposed, and joining the strand to the core cable by solidifying the melted filament thread.
