The present application discloses a filtering cable, which solves the problem that the cable in the related art cannot ensure a simple and reasonable structural design while having good filter performance. One or several core wires and N defective conductor layers surrounding the core wires are sequentially provided from inside to outside in the cross section in the radial direction of the filtering cable; wherein the defective conductor layer has an etching pattern; the etching pattern is distributed in the axial direction of the filtering cable; the etching pattern is used to make the filtering cable equivalent to a preset filter circuit to filter the signal transmitted in the filtering cable.
