Observations of the detailed spatial and velocity structure of the CO J = 1-0 emission have been made for the central 2arcmin×2arcmin region of Cepheus A. This object appears to have two ordered structures. The high-velocity components, with offset velocities larger than 5 km s-1, are compact and well-collimated in the east-to-west direction. The lower velocity components are extended and, though not well collimated, can be divided into two sectors. Blue-shifted emission is dominant in the northeast of HW 2/3d, while redshifted emission is strong in the south and west. The displacement of the low-velocity CO is the same as that of other bipolar structures related to the outflow activity. These new data support the outflow hypothesis for the northeast-to-southwest structure, rather than the disk hypothesis. In this case, the low-velocity CO feature represents the cavity wall of the outflow.
