Abstract

A control cable including a conduit having flexibility, the inside surface of which is fitted with a liner, and an inner cable having an inner coat, which is inserted into the conduit so that the inner cable slides slidden in the conduit. The liner is made of a thermoplastic resin dispersively containing 13 to 20% by weight of organopolysiloxane which in turn is made of 45 to 85% by weight of an organopolysiloxane having an ultra-high viscosity of which kinematic viscosity is 1,000,000 to 50,000,000 cSt at 25.degree. C. and 55 to 15% by weight of an organopolysiloxane having a lower viscosity of which kinematic viscosity is 25 to 10,000 cSt at 25.degree. C. The inner coat is made of a thermoplastic resin. The control cable shows excellent load efficiency and can be smoothly operated for a long period of time.
