Abstract
A cable includes a flexible coated wire, a multi joint support member, and a flexible sheath member that covers the multi joint support member and the coated wire. The multi-joint support member is formed by pivotally coupling adjacent ones of a plurality of link members arranged in series. Turning of the multi joint support member in a first direction in a direction intersecting a serial direction is allowed until becoming equal to a predetermined radius of curvature and turning of the multi joint support member in a second direction, which is opposite to the first direction, is restricted.
