Abstract
A high density multi-conductor ribbon cable (A, A', 40, 56', 65, 65', 90, 90') is disclosed having a variable width and variable center spacing (X) of conductors (12) along the cable length. The spacing of conductors (12) is determined by the vertical position of a tapered reed (B) and the cable may be extruded (40) or woven (56). Variations in the width and spacing of the signal conductors may be had to match mechanical and/or electrical characteristics of associated terminal connectors (22, 68, 68') and input and output devices (26, 28).
