Abstract
A cable and a cable stripping method which facilities the stripping of an intermediate part of a cable having a cable core covered by a plastic sheath provided around the outer periphery without damaging the cable core. In a cable having a plastic sheath 2 on a cable core 1, either a groove 2a is provided in the inner surface of the plastic sheath 2 extending in the longitudinal direction of the cable. A ripcord 3 is either fitted in the groove 2a or adhered to the inner surface of the plastic sheath. In either case, the position-indicating means 2b showing the position of the ripcord is provided on the outer surface of the plastic sheath 2 at the point where the ripcord 3 is fitted.
