Abstract

Film video player apparatus (11) having an optical axis (A), a signal processing board (14) displaced from the optical axis, a video sensor (S) proximate to but spaced from the signal processing board and movable axially, translationally and rotationally relative to the optical axis and movable relative to the signal processing board, and a flexible cable (10) connected to the signal processing board and the video sensor and being coiled at least partially circumferentially about the video sensor for movement with the video sensor means without producing a failure by flexure thereof. The flexible cable (10) has a plurality of signal carrying lines (90) interposed between a pair of ground planes (94, 95), the ground planes including longitudinal strips (100, 101) with longitudinally spaced cross bars (102), the cross bars of one of the pair of ground planes being longitudinally offset with respect to the cross bars of the other of the pair of ground planes to minimize variations in bending resistance longitudinally of the flexible cable.
