A communication cable includes an insulated wire including a conductor and a covering layer covering the conductor, the covering layer being made of an insulator, and a sheath covering an outer circumferential surface of the insulated wire, the sheath including a resin composition containing a polyolefin and a thermoplastic elastomer. A tensile modulus of elasticity of the sheath is 500 MPa or less, and a mass increase rate of the sheath is less than 50% by mass when the sheath is immersed in a diisononyl phthalate at 100° C. for 72 hours. |
