(57) The semirigid coaxial cable 5 comprises a center conductor 1, an insulating layer 2, outer conductor 3 and protective covering layer 4 in order. The insulating layer 2 comprises a first insulating layer 2a made of material having a low permittivity and a second insulating layer 2b made of a resin that can be more easily electroless-plated than the material of the first insulating layer 2a. The outer conductor 3 further comprises a electroless-plated anchoring metal layer 3a and electro-plated conductive metal layer 3b. The conductive metal layer 3b further comprises a copper-plated layer 3c, a glossy copper-plated layer 3d, and a strike plated nickel layer or tin-plated layer 3e.
