Abstract
A continuous strip of serially interconnected and individually separable jumper cable assemblies and a method for making the same are disclosed. The strip is comprised of cable having a plurality of insulated conductors therein, the cable further having a plurality of spaced apart lines of perforations defining junctions between the jumper cable assemblies and relatively short intervening segments of cable between the end of one and the beginning of another jumper cable assembly. Rows of oppositely facing connecting means are attached to the cable adjacent the perforation lines so that the mating portions of the first and second connecting means are located essentially above the intervening segments. The rows of first and second connecting means need not necessarily be identical. Individual jumper cable assemblies are removed from the strip by severing the cable along the perforation lines and removing the intervening portion of cable.
