A flat cable includes a dielectric element assembly including a plurality of dielectric layers laminated on each other, a linear signal line provided in the dielectric element assembly, a first ground conductor provided on one side in a direction of lamination relative to the signal line and including a plurality of first openings arranged along the signal line, and a second ground conductor provided on the other side in the direction of lamination relative to the signal line and including a plurality of second openings arranged along the signal line. The first ground conductor is more distant from the signal line in the direction of lamination than is the second ground conductor. The first openings are larger than the second openings.
