ABSTRACT:
A cable with a waterproof plug includes a cable including a wire and an insulating coating covering the outer circumferential surface of the wire, and a waterproof plug made of an elastic material. The waterproof plug is formed integrally with the cable so as to cover the outer circumferential surface of the insulating coating in an annular region along the length of the cable. The waterproof plug is united to the cable with an adhesive component. By connecting a terminal to the cable at a position nearer to one end of the cable than the portion where the waterproof plug is formed, a connector cable with a waterproof plug is obtained. The cable may be substantially circular in cross section or substantially rectangular in cross section, such as an FFC or FPC.
