A resin composition, including the following components (A) and (B); and at least one kind of the following components (C) and (D): (A) a low density polyethylene resin; (B) an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer resin; (C) a thioether compound; and (D) fluororubber, in which:

a content of the component (A) is 5 to 40 parts by mass and a content of the component (B) is 60 to 95 parts by mass in 100 parts by mass of a total content of the components (A) and (B), a total content of the components (C) and (D) is 0.05 to 1 part by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the total content of the components (A) and (B), and a proportion of a vinyl acetate component in the component (B) is 40 mass % or less.

A structure for creating a sealed wire bundle includes a first adhesive material in the form of a circular or semi-circular shape. The first adhesive material has a first outer wall with first spoke arms extending inward from the first outer wall. The first adhesive material has a first viscosity. First wire receiving spaces are provided between the first spoke arms. Wires are positioned in the first wire receiving spaces. As heat is applied to the adhesive structure, the adhesive structure flows to fill voids between the plurality of wires to thereby seal the wires.

An electrically insulated cable that is excellent in in adhesion with a resin used for resin sealing is provided. According to the present invention, an electrically insulated cable (10) includes: a plurality of coated electric wires (11) and a sheath (12) covering outer peripheries of the plurality of coated electric wires, wherein an average value of surface roughness Rz of an outer surface of the sheath is 15 μm or more and 75 μm or less.

A cable contains a core including a transmissive element and a coating layer made of a coating material. The coating material contains, with respect to the total weight of polymeric materials present in the composition, (i) 70% to 95% by weight of a recycled linear low density polyethylene (r-LLDPE); and (ii) 5 to 30% by weight of an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA). The EVA may be added to the r-LLDPE or, alternatively, be already contained in the r-LLDPE as a result of previous LLDPE use. The cable may further contain a skin layer placed around and in direct contact with the coating layer based on r-LLDPE.
