A communication cable includes two-core communication wires, a drain wire, and a metal foil collectively covering the two-core communication wires and the drain wire. The two-core communication wires are twisted, and the metal foil is wound around the two-core communication wires with an adhesion strength of 1.21 MPa or more. Preferably, the two-core communication wires are twisted with a twist pitch of 20 mm or more and 60 mm or less. The communication cable further may include a restraint formed of a resin coating extruded around the metal foil or a resin film laterally wound around the metal foil.

Provided are methods for forming a rigid cable harness. An example method includes providing a curable sleeve comprising a curable compound, an adhesive, and a backing; wherein the curable adhesive tape has a longitudinal direction. The method further includes placing a plurality of cables on the sleeve in the longitudinal direction and wrapping the curable sleeve around the placed plurality of cables to form a cable harness, wherein the wrapping comprises wrapping the plurality of cables with the curable sleeve in the longitudinal direction. The method additionally includes positioning the cable harness into a desired shape and curing the curable compound of the cable harness to form the rigid cable harness, wherein the rigid cable harness has the desired shape.

The wire harness includes a sheathing member that is formed in a sheet shape, at least one electric wire that is arranged on a first principal surface side of the sheathing member, and a sewing thread that sews the electric wire to the sheathing member. A partial region of the sheathing member that is arranged along an extension direction of the electric wire is in a flat state, while another at least partial region of the sheathing member that is arranged along the extension direction of the electric wire is curved in a direction intersecting with the extension direction of the electric wire.

A wire harness includes an electrical wire with sheet material and a tension bearing part. The electrical wire with sheet material includes a sheet material and an electrical wire fixed to the sheet material. The tension bearing part is provided on the sheet material to bear part of tension applied to the electrical wire in a state where the tension is applied to the electrical wire with sheet material.

A wire harness sheet includes a sheet base material that has a rectangular shape formed by a pair of first side portion and a second side portion in parallel with each other and by a third side portion and a fourth side portion orthogonal to the first side portion and the second side portion; an adhesive layer that is provided on one surface of the sheet base material; and a slit which is cut into the sheet base material in such a manner that the slit is formed along and in parallel with each the third side portion and the fourth side portion between each the first side portion and the second side portion, and a placement region of an electric wire bundle.

The present invention provides a technology that enables both a region that is arranged flat and a region that is arranged flexed on a wire harness to be easily accommodated using a single sheathing member. The wire harness includes a sheathing member that is formed in a sheet shape, at least one electric wire that is arranged on a first principal surface side of the sheathing member, and a sewing thread that sews the electric wire to the sheathing member. A partial region of the sheathing member that is arranged along an extension direction of the electric wire is in a flat state, while another at least partial region of the sheathing member that is arranged along the extension direction of the electric wire is curved in a direction intersecting with the extension direction of the electric wire.

Provided are methods for forming a rigid cable harness. An example method includes providing a curable sleeve comprising a curable compound, an adhesive, and a backing; wherein the curable adhesive tape has a longitudinal direction. The method further includes placing a plurality of cables on the sleeve in the longitudinal direction and wrapping the curable sleeve around the placed plurality of cables to form a cable harness, wherein the wrapping comprises wrapping the plurality of cables with the curable sleeve in the longitudinal direction. The method additionally includes positioning the cable harness into a desired shape and curing the curable compound of the cable harness to form the rigid cable harness, wherein the rigid cable harness has the desired shape.
