An apparatus is described for providing an electrical conduction path between two contact locations rotatable one with respect to the other. A flat ribbon cable having a plurality of electrical conductors and being wound in the manner of a coiled spring, is connected to the contact locations by way of connection lines serially connected to the ends of the flat ribbon cable. To protect the flat ribbon cable from mechanical damage at each of its ends, an end portion of each of the electrical conductors is serially connected to an end portion of one of a plurality of connection conductors of the connection line at a connection location, and a connection assembly is formed about the end portions of the serially connected conductors. The connection assembly is comprised of a clamping body positioned about and engaging a portion of each of the connection conductors so as to restrict axial movement therebetween; and a protective sheath that encompasses the connection locations of each of the serially connected conductors, while engaging the clamping body to restrict axial movement therebetween.
