A carbon fiber cable includes a core member having multiple thermosetting-resin-impregnated carbon fibers bundled together, and multiple side members each having multiple thermosetting-resin-impregnated synthetic fibers bundled together in each side member. The thermosetting resin is in a cured state and each of the multiple side members has been shaped utilizing curability of the resin. The shaped multiple side members are each in such a state that they are twisted together around the core member.
