  • Publication number: 20100294533
    Abstract: A shielded electric wire 1A is composed of a plurality of covered electric wires 10 of which core wires 2 are covered by covers having different colors; a braided shield 4 attached to an outer region of the covered electric wires 10; and an insulating sheath 5 covering an outer circumference of the braided shield 4. Because the covered electric wires 10 have covers 3 having different colors, the covered electric wires 10 can be identified from each other. Further, a mark 6A for identifying the electric wire is formed on a part of the outer surface of the sheath 5. A color identifying a destination of each covered electric wire 10 is selected properly as the color of the mark 6A. Further, a combination of the colors of the covers 3 of the covered electric wires 10 and the color of the mark 6A can indicate a product type of the shielded electric wire 1A.
