A cable manufacturing apparatus is comprised of a specified number of strand winding frames 2 in which a plurality of strands 1 to be laid to form a cable 10 are wound, respectively; a guiding plate 3 for forming the cable 10 by laying the strands 1 pulled out from the strand winding frames 2 to the axial directions of the strand winding frames 2 in a specified arrangement; a die 4 for tightening the strands 1 in the specified arrangement; a feeder 5 for pulling out the respective strands 1 from the strand winding frames 2 through the guiding plate 3 and the die 4 as the cable 10; a supporting assembly 6 for supporting the cable 10 being conveyed to a winding table 73; and the winding table 73 for winding the conveyed cable 10 at a specified winding diameter by placing it on a horizontal table. Therefore, the cable can be manufactured by a simply constructed apparatus according to a simple method.
