Abstract

A multi-line electrical assembly that includes a multi-line cable (14), including a multiplicity of insulated conductive wires (59); and a multi-line electrical plug (16), physically connected to the cable. The plug has a housing (56) and a plurality of spaced-apart printed circuit boards (PCBs, 48), housed in the housing and having a first end (47) that is connected to the cable and having a second end (46), separated from the first end. Further, the PCBs bear a plurality of conductive traces (50), at least some of the traces being electrically connected to the wires proximal to the first end. The traces terminate proximal to the second end.
