Abstract
A flexible high speed micro-cable and method of making the same are described. The parallel conductors incorporated in the present cable contribute to the flat cross section of the cable, while the unique combination of materials yield a flexible cable with a low profile. The data transfer rate and transmission losses of a cable, as provided herein, exceed High Speed Universal Serial Bus (USB) 2.0 specifications and data transmission is achieved from USB devices. The lower volume and mass of the cable make it ideal for applications needing low mass payload, such as satellites. The flexible nature of the cable allow it to readily conform to a desired structure for mounting or routing. A flexible high speed micro-cable is fabricated from a unique combination of materials and fabrication can be readily automated.
