Abstract

A flat, fine pitch cable assembly includes an improved cable profile to assist in the alignment with an insulation displacement connector. The improved profile has enlarged ridges which encompass multiple conductors thereby providing a surface which is more pronounced and therefore more suitable for alignment with an insulation displacement connector and the contacts supported thereby.
