To provide a link bodies-connected cable drag chain, in which even in a case where a long flexible body C such as a cable, a hose or the like is incorporated a roller, which protects the flexible body, can be easily detached from the link bodies. The cable drag chain of the present invention is formed by articulately connecting a plurality of link bodies each having a pair of plates . Between the pair of plates is rotatably provided a roller , which protects the flexible body. In the plate is formed a through-hole larger than the outer diameter of the roller , and to this through-hole is detachably fit-secured a plug, which protects the dislodgement of the roller . When this plug is removed the roller can be easily detached from the through-hole
