Abstract: A flat cable having a linear portion in at least a part thereof. The linear portion has a plurality of insulated conductors juxtaposed to one another with adjacent insulated conductors being adhered to each other to provide an integral insulative layer, and a resin tape applied to the surface of the integral insulative layer so as to conform to the shape of the surface. In the production of this flat cable, a plurality of insulated conductors, together with a resin tape, are feed into a mold. In the mold, adjacent insulated conductors in their insulative layers are fused to each other to form an integral insulative layer. The resin tape is applied to the integral insulative layer so as to conform to the shape of the surface of the integral insulative layer.

Abstract: In a flat cable having a linear portion in at least a part thereof, an improved construction of the linear portion is disclosed. The linear portion comprises: a plurality of insulated conductors juxtaposed to one another with adjacent insulated conductors other being adhered to each other to provide an integral insulative layer having on its surface crest portions and root portions; and a resin tape applied to the surface of the integral insulative layer so as to conform to the shape of the surface of the integral insulative layer having crest portions and root portions. In the production of this flat cable, a plurality of insulated conductors, together with a resin tape, are feed into a mold in its grooves.
