Abstract
A connector-and-cable assembly, including an electronic connector, such as a HDMI connector, having an outlet section and a multiplicity of elastic conductive stripes. Each of the elastic conductive stripes is conductively connected, at a first end, to a respective preconfigured outlet pin of the electronic connector. The second end of each of the elastic conductive stripes is preconfigured to operatively attach to a respective sensor, such as a textile electrode of a smart garment. Typically, at least one of the elastic conductive stripes is a textile based conductive stripe.
