1. A composite cable for a vehicle, comprising:
a communication unit including: a pair of communication lines to transmit a sensor sensing signal, and a communication unit jacket layer covering an outside of the pair of communication lines;
a power unit including a pair of power lines to supply power; and,
a cable jacket layer covering an outside of the communication unit and the power unit,
wherein the communication unit jacket layer covers the pair of communication lines such that the communication unit has a round cross section, and the thickness of the communication unit jacket layer in a radial direction is 0.4 mm or more, and the communication unit has an outer diameter of 4.1 mm to 4.5 mm, and,
wherein the conductor of each of the communication lines of the communication unit comprises a self-twist and helically wound conductor, and wherein the self-twist and helically wound conductor comprises one center self-twisted strand and six self-twisted strands arranged around the center self-twisted strand and twisted in a direction opposite to a direction in which the center self-twisted strand is twisted, wherein a direction in which the self-twisted strands are helically wound is the same as a direction in which the center self-twisted strand is twisted.
