A rotating connector in which a sliding cap is closely interposed between rotational sliding portions of a first housing and a second housing that are rotatably coupled to each other. A flexible cable is wound in a reverse direction through a turned-back portion in an annular storage portion defined between the first and second housings. Transverse end portions of this flexible cable face a flange portion formed on the sliding cap. Moreover, the transverse end portions of the flexible cable face a curved portion. Furthermore, the annular storage portion is defined between an outer cylindrical portion of the first housing and an inner cylindrical portion of the second housing. A movable body, in which a plurality of rollers are rotatably mounted on pins between a pair of holders, is placed in this storage portion. Further, the turned-back portion of the flexible cable wound in a reverse direction through the movable body is looped around one of the rollers. An inward extension portion inwardly projecting from the roller is formed on the holder. This inward extension portion is axially supported on the inner cylindrical portion. Moreover, the bottom transverse end portion of the flexible cable faces the inward extension portion.
