To prevent damage to a cable that could be caused by the extra length of the cable by providing a shape retention means near the two folding lines of a folded part where a part of the side of a strip cable body that is longer than required for connection is folded on itself in the form of Z.

At least a part of the side of a flexible strip cable body 11 being longer than required for connection between component parts installed in the interior of electronic equipment is folded longitudinally on itself in the form of Z to form a folded part 13. Near the two folding lines 14 of the folded part 13, a shape retention means 15a provided with a stopping part 18 by which the folding angle of the folded part 13 is set to a predetermined angle or less by folding two plate-spring-shaped members 17 into two is mounted.
