BRAIDED FLAT CABLE CONSTITUTED OF ULTRAHIGH-MOLECULAR POLYETHYLENE FIBERS

摘要

Disclosed is a flat cable obtained by braiding ultrahigh-molecular polyethylene fibers, wherein the fibers under no tension are in close contact with one another to a higher degree than in conventional braided flat cables. The flat cable obtained by braiding ultrahigh-molecular polyethylene fibers is characterized in that the cross-sectional area of the cable on which no tensile stress is imposed is 110% or less of the cross-sectional area of the cable on which a tensile stress of 22.7 N/mm2 is imposed.
