Fabricating a nanofiber sheet, ribbon, or yarn by a continuous process that includes synthesizing a nanofiber forest in a forest growth region on a substrate, wherein the nanofiber forest comprises a parallel array of nanofibers, and further includes drawing said nanofibers from the nanofiber forest to form a primary assembly that is a sheet, ribbon or yarn. The substrate continuously moves from the furnace growth region into a region where the nanofibers in the forest are drawn.

Infiltration of water into a shield pipe is prevented. A shielded conductive path includes a tubular braided wire, a shield pipe connected to the braided wire, an electric wire bundle inserted into the braided wire and the shield pipe, a heat-shrinkable tube that is disposed so as to cover the braided wire and is thermally shrunk to bring the braided wire into intimate contact with an outer circumference of the electric wire bundle, a filler (18) with which voids between the electric wire bundle and the heat-shrinkable tube are filled, and a tubular waterstopping member that covers a region of the braided wire between the heat-shrinkable tube and the shield pipe in a state in which two end portions of the tubular waterstopping member are in intimate contact with an outer circumferential surface of the heat-shrinkable tube and the outer circumferential surface of the shield pipe in a liquidtight manner.
