Abstract
A flat multiconductor cable has a reworked and sized portion in which the span tolerance (distance between the outside conductors in the cable) is substantially reduced as compared to the unsized portion of the cable. An apparatus is also disclosed for reworking and sizing a flat multiconductor cable in order to reduce the tolerances in the reworked cable. A multi contact electrical connector can be installed on the reworked portion of the cable although the same connector may not be capable of accepting the cable in its original condition because of the relatively wide dimensional tolerances in the cable.
