A cable includes a guide element and a signal line. The guide element extends flatly on a guide plane, and the signal line is guided along a winding path on the guide plane by the guide element. The signal line has multiple bends on the guide plane. In particular, the cable is suitable for use under high stretching loads by virtue of the winding course of the signal line. The cable is simultaneously particularly space-saving in that the line is guided solely within the guide plane. A method for producing the cable is also provided.
