[0042] In the embodiment, the cross-sectional shape of the first steel wire 5 is circular, and the cross-sectional shape of the second steel wire 12 is trapezoidal. The circular design provides axial tensile strength, and the trapezoidal design forms a three-dimensional stress dispersion network through lateral bending stiffness, so that the impact resistance of the cable is improved by using the design.
