ABSTRACT:
Flat cables 12 are arranged on a plane, and insulating sheaths 11 are fused and connected at ends of the flat cables 12 to form a first fused portion 16. A second fused portion 17 is formed next to the first fused portion 16. Further, the insulating sheaths 11 are fused and connected in intermediate positions of the respective flat cables 12, thereby forming a third fused portion 19. The first fused portion 16 strengthens the connection of a flat multiple-core cable at its opposite ends without fusing and adhering a tape thereto. The second fused portion 17 prevents the flat multiple-core cable from being bent during the insertion into a terminal in an equipment. After the insertion, the second fused portion 17 having a sufficient flexibility permits the flat multiple-core cable to be bent near the opening of the terminal. Further, the third fused portion 19 enables the connection of the respective flat cables in their intermediate positions without the use of a connecting member, thereby reducing a production cost and making the flat multiple-core cable suitable for use in a wiring in a narrow space.
