A new dielectric material for a communication cable has a dielectric base with strength members embedded therein. By a new process, vacuum voids are formed in the dielectric base and at least partially contain or abut the strength members. The material is particularly well suited for a first dielectric tape, where the cable includes a first insulated conductor, the first dielectric tape and a second insulated conductor, with the first insulated conductor being twisted with the second insulated conductor with the first dielectric tape residing between the first insulated conductor and the second insulated conductor. The material is also suitable for a separator of the cable serving to separate twisted pairs from each other within the cable, as well as other components of the cable, such as an insulation layer of one or more of the insulated conductors of the twisted pairs.

A wiring member includes: a first electric wire; a braided wire that surrounds the first electric wire; a second electric wire; a resin; a sheath; and a ground wire that is electrically continuous with the braided wire. The braided wire surrounds the first electric wire, the second electric wire, and the braided wire. The sheath has a first end exposing the first electric wire, the second electric wire, and the braided wire. The braided wire has a second end exposing the first electric wire away from the first end. The resin seals, in a liquid-tight manner, the sheath and a region covered by the sheath, and the braided wire and a region surrounded by the braided wire. The first electric wire, the second electric wire, and the ground wire are exposed from the resin.

It is aimed to provide a communication cable which includes a solid sheath on an outer periphery of a signal cable having a plurality of insulated wires and in which transmission characteristics hardly decrease due to a pressure in extrusion-molding a sheath. A communication cable 1 is provided with a signal cable 10 including a plurality of insulated wires 11 each having a conductor 12 and an insulation coating 13 covering an outer periphery of the conductor 12, and a solid sheath 20 covering an outer periphery of the signal cable 10. A melt flow rate of a constituent material of the sheath 20 measured at 200° and with a load of 2.16 kg is 0.25 g/10 min. or more.
