The thickness of the crack suppressing layer 7 is made thinner than the thickness of the insulator 3. More specifically, the thickness of the crack suppressing layer 7 may be 0.10 mm or more and 0.20 mm or less. When the thickness of the crack suppressing layer 7 is 0.10 mm or more, the mechanical strength of the crack suppressing layer 7 is increased, and therefore it is easy to suppress the occurrence of a fracture in the crack suppressing layer 7 due to bending. Further, when the thickness of the crack suppressing layer 7 is 0.20 mm or less, the stress applied to the plating layer 4 in the bending or the like of the high frequency signal transmission cable 1 (the stress applied to the plating layer 4 resulting from bending of the crack suppressing layer 7 following the bending of the high frequency signal transmission cable 1) is small, and therefore the plating layer 4 is easily suppressed from cracking.
