Abstract

A flexible cable has a grounding pattern or patterns provided therein. Thereby, when an object having static electricity of high voltage is caused to approach the flexible cable, dielectric breakdown of a base and cover of a high polymer material of the cable, to a conducting portion of the cable which is not exposed at the interior of the flexible cable is prevented, and damage to an electronic circuit connected with the not exposed portion, due to electric discharge, can be prevented by causing the static electricity to be discharged to the exposed grounding pattern.
