Abstract
An improved conductor preparation and termination means and method are disclosed for terminating multi-conductor flat cable having a high density arrangement of conductors on close centerlines. The present invention is particularly useful for mass termination of flat transmission cable and/or ribbon cable. The subject method and means is primarily distinguished from the known methods and means for terminating cable in that in the present instance at least some of the conductors are pushed from the insulation of the cable to a position where they are exposed and can be engaged by suitable terminating means.
