A wire exterior body and an exterior-covered wire harness, capable of preventing damage to thereby suppress deterioration in the protective function for electric wires, are provided. A wire exterior body (3) formed of a resin sheet, to be mounted on the outer periphery of the wire harness (2), includes bending portions (20a) to (20d) at which the resin sheet is bent, and a plurality of wall parts (4) formed of the resin sheet bent at the bending portions (20a) to (20d). The wall parts (4) extend along the extending direction of the electric wires and form an accommodating part (5) that accommodates the electric wires. Grooves (21a) to (21d) are formed in the bending portions (20a) to (20d) at positions separated by predetermined spaces (S1) and (S2) from end portions (4a) and (4b), in the extending direction of the electric wires, of the wall parts (4).

A cable having a pluggable connector includes an inner conductor, an insulation disposed radially outwardly with respect to the inner conductor, a shield disposed radially outwardly with respect to the insulation and a jacket. A support ferrule has a plurality of tongues extending in a direction having an axial component. A sleeve has a first section, a second section and a third section. The first and second sections are disposed radially outwardly with respect to the support ferrule. The second section has a radial constriction. The sleeve encloses the tongues of the support ferrule in the second section and encloses the jacket in the third section. The second section is disposed in the axial direction between the first section and the third section.

A wire harness including: a plurality of electric wires; a cylindrical protective tube that collectively houses the plurality of electric wires; a restricting member that is provided within the protective tube and includes a housing space through which the plurality of electric wires are passed and that is shaped and sized to restrict an arrangement direction of the plurality of electric wires to a specific direction; a plurality of grooves that are formed in an inner circumferential surface of the protective tube at a predetermined spacing in a circumferential direction of the protective tube; and a protrusion that is formed on an outer circumferential surface of the restricting member and is fitted into one groove of the plurality of grooves.

An irregular-shaped cable and a method for manufacturing the cable. The irregular-shaped cable includes a conductive core formed by at least two conductive core segments having different cross-sectional shapes which are connected end to end. An insulation layer is wrapped over the conductive core segment from the outside, and the profile of the insulation layer fits with the conductive core segments. The cable can be fitted with the vehicle body. The manufacturing method includes a manufacture of the conductive core segments, a connection of the conductive core segments, and a manufacture of the insulation layer.
