A protective member-attached wire is provided with: an electric wire; and a protective member that is made of a sheet-shaped nonwoven member and is wrapped around the electric wire to cover the electric wire. The protective member includes: a first portion obtained by heating a portion of the nonwoven member; and a second portion that is softer than the first portion of the nonwoven member. The first portion and the second portion are each distributed over the entire circumference of the electric wire in a circumferential direction of the electric wire, and are distributed over the entire protective member in a longitudinal direction of the electric wire.

A composite harness includes a composite cable that includes a plurality of first electric wires, a multicore wire formed by covering a plurality of second electric wires having a smaller diameter than the plurality of first electric wires with one urethane-based resin inner sheath to be in contact with the first electric wires, and a jacket covering an outer periphery of the plurality of first electric wires and the multicore wire, and a molded resin provided at an end portion of the composite cable so as to cover an outer surface of the inner sheath at an end portion of the multicore wire. The outer surface of the inner sheath is irregularity-formed at least at a portion in contact with the plurality of first electric wires and a portion covered with the molded resin.

Provided is a wire harness sheet that can be stored in an overlapping manner without using release paper and can be wound in a spiral shape around an electric wire bundle. A wire harness sheet 11 includes a first self-adhesive layer 15 of a sheet base material 13, the first self-adhesive layer 15 being is formed on one surface of a first common region 27, and the other surface of the first common region 27 becoming a first adhesive layer unformed portion 29; and a second self-adhesive layer 17 that is formed on at least part of one surface of a second common region 31.

A wire harness including one or more electrically conductive paths and a resin molded product having a tubular shape which accommodates and protects the one or more electrically conductive paths. The resin molded product includes a first part having clearances along a circumferential direction between an inner surface of the resin molded product and outer surfaces of the one or more electrically conductive paths and a second part having substantially no clearance between the inner surface of the resin molded product and an outer surface of one of the one or more electrically conductive paths in an area along the circumferential directions.

A wire harness manufacturing system includes an assembly line that manufactures a wire harness and one or a plurality of supply devices that prepares to supply component magazines in which components of the wire harness are loaded in a holder to the assembly line. Each of the supply devices is capable of preparing a plurality of the component magazines which are different according to types of the components. The component magazines are capable of delivering from the supply devices to at least a part of the series of assembly steps in a state of being independent of both the assembly line and the supply device.

A protective member-attached wire is provided with: an electric wire; and a protective member that is made of a sheet-shaped nonwoven member and is wrapped around the electric wire to cover the electric wire. The protective member includes: a first portion obtained by heating a portion of the nonwoven member; and a second portion that is softer than the first portion of the nonwoven member. The first portion and the second portion are each distributed over the entire circumference of the electric wire in a circumferential direction of the electric wire, and are distributed over the entire protective member in a longitudinal direction of the electric wire.

A cable, in particular a cable for the at least partial transmission of electrical energy, comprising several, in particular three, phase cores and at least one further core, in particular a protective core, is proposed, wherein the several phase cores are stranded to form at least one phase bundle and the at least one further core runs outside the at least one phase bundle in the cable.

A multifunctional cable is particularly suitable for the automotive industry. The multifunctional cable has a plurality of functional elements. A core in the form of a sheathed line contains at least one inner functional element. At least one outer functional element is wound around the sheathed line core.

A method for producing a cable harness, in particular for the motor vehicle industry, includes combining a plurality of individual lines into a line bundle. The line bundle is provided with a bundling element. The bundling element is constructed as a textile-like fiber interlacement or weave which is produced by applying a suspension including fibers and a binder to the line bundle. A cable harness produced by the method is also provided.

A cable connection structure includes a cable assembly that fixes a plurality of cables, and a mounting member connected to the cable assembly. The plurality of cables includes: core wires having core wire exposed portions where the core wires are exposed at distal ends of the plurality of cables; and jackets, each of which is formed of an insulator and covers each of the core wires. The mounting member includes a plurality of external connection electrodes to which the core wires are to be connected. The cable assembly includes a first cable fixing portion that is formed of an insoluble resin insoluble in organic solvents or alkali and that fixes the core wire exposed portions. The core wires are exposed on an end face of the first cable fixing portion and are connected to the plurality of external connection electrodes using a conductive material.
