In the present embodiment, a non-cross-linked polyethylene is being used as the crack suppressing layer 7. The melting point of the polyethylene is increased by irradiation cross-linking by on the order of 20° C. For that reason, for example, by using an irradiated cross-linked polyethylene as the resin constituting the insulator 3 and using a non-cross-linked polyethylene as the resin constituting the crack suppressing layer 7, it is possible to easily form the crack suppressing layer 7 that can, with the crack suppressing layer 7 remaining in contact with the outer surface of the insulator 3 with no space therebetween, be bent while being moved in the longitudinal direction of the cable 1 relative to the bending of the insulator 3. Note that the resin to be used in the insulator 3 or the crack suppressing layer 7 is not limited to the above described resin.
