Abstract: A shield wire for use with a terminal fitting has a ring (7) is fit laterally to an outer cover (4), and a braided wire (3) is folded onto an outer peripheral surface of the ring (7). A hooking edge (9) protrudes over the entire circumference on a front end part of the ring (7). A barrel (15) of an outer conductor terminal (12) is crimped to the folded braided wire (3). Thus, the hooking edge (9) of the ring (7) is widened into a horn shape to form a bell-mouth (16) with the braided wire (3) hooked to the hooking edge (9). Thus, a hooked sate of the braided wire (3) and the ring (7) is strengthened, so that a holding force of a terminal fitting (T) onto a shield wire (S) is enhanced.
