Abstract
An improved ribbon cable comprising a plurality of insulated wires in a fixed relationship to each other. The conductors have an axis in a common plane, and extend the full length of the cable. The conductors are bonded to a ribbon of flexible insulation material in a spaced apart relation with the longitudinal axes of the ribbon material and the conductors generally parallel to each other. In specific embodiments, the conductors may be foil, strips or depositions of conductive material. In other specific embodiments, a coating of flexible insulation material is superimposed on the ribbon material between the conductors and/or the conductors are overcoated with a continuous and uniform coat of flexible insulation or bonding material. An improved transposed ribbon cable is also provided.
