Abstract
A ribbon crossover cable assembly (10) and method provides for longitudinally splitting a first ribbon cable (12) between a centrally located pair (22) of conductors (14) through a limited segment (24) of the first ribbon cable (12) thereby forming an opening (26). The first end (18) of the first ribbon cable (12) is passed through the opening (26) such that the first end (18) of the first ribbon cable (12) is looped through opening (26). An end (30) of a second ribbon cable (28) is passed through the opening (26) and connectors (34,36) are terminated to the ends (18,30;20,32) of the cables (12,28).
