Abstract
Disclosed is a multiconductor, flat, insulated ribbon cable, the cable constructed of a conventional material such as PVC with multiple conductors therein arranged in spaced apart side-by-side relation, and including axially extending terminal reinforced edges composed of a material such as PTFE or PE. The edge reinforcement may be formed by a lamination or extrusion process thereby inhibiting tearing of the edges of the material when the cable is inserted or removed from an enclosure, e.g. of a personal computer.
