It is an objective of the invention to provide a high-power supply cable characterized in that even when mounted in a narrow space where the cable undergoes a repetitive bending motion, any undesirable deformation out of the bending plane is small. There is provided a power-supply cable including: an electric wire including an electrical conductor and a resin sheath covering the electrical conductor, the electric wire having a tendency to generate a curl under a no-load condition, the curl having a curling direction, the curling direction being a normal to the curl, the electric wire having one or more longitudinal ends; a connecting terminal disposed at one of the longitudinal ends of the electric wire; and a curling tendency direction indicator showing the curling direction, the indicator being disposed along a normal line to the curl of the electric wire.

The exemplified systems and methods provide an extension cord system having a cord that is configured to slidably guide a movable plug carriage having conventional plug receptacle. In some embodiments, the movable plug carriage is configured with pierce-able conductors that can be inserted and retracted from a sealed skin of the cord. In other embodiments, the sealed skin can be fastened and unfastened by the movable plug carriage as the movable plug carriage moves over the cord. In yet other embodiments, the movable plug carriage is attachable and detachable from the cord.

Provided are a stretchable wire tape for a textile that can maintain high levels in all of stretchability, electrical conductivity, durability, an insulating property, and design and can also have a reduced production cost, wearable devices, and a method for producing textiles having wires. The stretchable wire tape for the textile includes a stretchable electrically conductive wire, and stretchable insulating films each including a first face and a second face opposite to the first face, the stretchable insulating films being bonded to opposite sides of the stretchable electrically conductive wire on their first faces. Since the stretchable insulating films are bonded to the opposite sides of the stretchable electrically conductive wire via bonding layers, durability and an insulating property can be secured while stretchability and electrical conductivity of the electrically conductive wire can be maintained, and design can also be improved.
