Abstract
An improved cable is provided having both the advantages of mass termination of flat cable and the flexibility of a cable with independent conductors for use in limited space situations. A plurality of substantially parallel and aligned insulated conductors is provided having a layer of flat backing material substantially covering the conductors. There is a layer of adhesive between the conductors and the backing. A further layer of a nonadhesive material is utilized over the adhesive so that the adhesive will not stick to itself in the event that the cable is bent. The adhesive bond between the conductors and the backing material is such that the backing is easily hand peeled from the conductors.
