Abstract
A ribbon cable assembly for interconnection to an electronic equipment pull-out drawer which is arranged so as to occupy a minimum of depth within the drawer while effectively preventing kinking or tangling of the cables as the drawer is opened and closed. This is achieved by folding each of the cables back on themselves so that they individually connect to the back of the drawer at different elevations at connections which are in vertical alignment with one another. In addition the cables overlie each other so that their flat surfaces are orthogonal to the direction of movement of the pull-out drawer.
