  • Publication number: 20160093416
    Abstract: An endoscope woven cable includes plural cables arranged in parallel, and a filament woven through the plurality of cables in an alignment direction thereof. The plural cables include at least one rigidity-imparting wire. The rigidity-imparting wire may be arranged at both ends and in a middle of the plurality of cables in the alignment direction thereof or symmetrically positioned about a center of the plurality of cables in the alignment direction thereof. An outer diameter of the rigidity-imparting wire may be not greater than that of a rest of the plural cables. The rigidity-imparting wire may include a bare stainless steel wire or a bare steel wire.

  • Publication number: 20140027151
    Abstract: A shielded cable includes an electric wire bundle configured such that a plurality of electric wires are bundled, a first band-shaped member configured to be spirally wound so as to cover the electric wire bundle, a second band-shaped member configured to be spirally wound on the outer periphery of the first band-shaped member, and a drain wire configured to be arranged between the first band-shaped member and the second band-shaped member. The first band-shaped member and the second band-shaped member include a metal layer including a conductive metal and a resin layer including an insulating resin, and are wound such that the metal layers thereof face each other across the drain wire. The first band-shaped member, the second band-shaped member and the drain wire are wound in the same direction to the electric wire bundle.
