The invention discloses a high strength winding drum cable. A strength element is arranged between a core insulator and an inner sheath, and the plastic deformation of the strength element is slighter than the plastic deformation of the core insulator; and when the cable bears higher pulling force, the pulling force is mainly born by the strength element, thereby avoiding conductor breakage caused by excessively high pulling force in the process of reciprocating dragging during installation or application. The exterior of the strength element is coated by a soft cushion for the strength element, thereby preventing the strength element from wearing the core insulator or the inner sheath during the reciprocating movement of bending and unbending the cable.
