1. A complex harness, comprising:
two first electric wires contacting with each other, each of which comprises a first center conductor and a first insulation that covers the first center conductor;
a cable comprising two second electric wires contacting with each other, each of which comprises a second center conductor and a second insulation that covers the second center conductor, and an inner sheath that comprises a thermoplastic resin and covers the second electric wires, without being provided with a shield conductor; and
an outer sheath covering the two first electric wires and the cable collectively, wherein the two first electric wires are extended from an end of the outer sheath,
wherein the inner sheath enters between the two second electric wires,
wherein the cable is extended from the end of the outer sheath in a state where the two second electric wires are collectively covered by the inner sheath in such a manner that the cable extends from the end of the outer sheath,
wherein a filler is not provided between the two first electric wires and the cable,
wherein the cable is in contact with the two first electric wires in a state where the cable enters in a valley provided by the two first electric wires contacting with each other,
wherein the outer sheath formed by extrusion molding of a thermoplastic resin enters in a valley provided by the first electric wires and the cable contacting with each other,
wherein, in the inner sheath, the two second electric wires are provided but no optical element is provided, and
wherein an end of the cable is provided with a sensor head integrated with the inner sheath by a resin mold.
