Abstract
A shield cable capable of satisfactorily accommodating electric/electronic equipment newly installed in automobiles requires maintaining good shielding performance, facilitating terminal-processing work, and effectively preventing a buckle and a disconnection in each signal line even if the outer diameter of each signal line is reduced. A flat shield cable is provided having a plurality of signal lines, each having an insulating cover arranged parallel with each other. The signal lines each having the insulating cover are covered with a shield tape having an impedance adjustment intervening tape and a shield layer in such a matter that the shield layer is located outside. A drain line is provided on one side of an array of the signal lines each having the insulating cover so as to be parallel with the signal lines and to be in contact with the shield layer of the shield tape from outside. All of the signal lines, the shield tape, and the drain line are covered with an insulating sheath.
