Abstract
A simplified cable splitter for use with flat multi-conductor ribbon cables is disclosed. The disclosed cable splitter has an opposed jaw system which confines and aligns the cable and the conductors therein. A plurality of finger-like splitting blades are moved into the longitudinal axis of the cable thereby separating selected conductors among the plurality of conductors in the ribbon cable. The result is a ribbon cable having a plurality of conductors in a separated condition available for a termination in an insulation displacement contact.
