Abstract

Extendable connectors are facilitated. According to an example embodiment, an integrated electrical circuit uses a connector that has first and second connected ends. The connector is unbundled from an initial state in which the first and second connected ends are separated by a first proximate distance and applied in an extended state in which the first and second connected ends are separated by a second distance that is greater than the first proximate distance.
