Abstract
A tunnel multiconnect system comprising a substrate of flexible dielectric material, a plurality of at least three first line conductors supported on the substrate to form a multiconductor pattern, a second conductor shaped to form a ground plane, a structure for mechanically positioning the second conductor in spaced relation to the multiconductor pattern to form a tunnel therebetween, and connectors located at each end of the first conductors for coupling the first conductors and the ground plane to respective multiport terminals of electrical subassemblies thereby forming a flexible high speed ribbon interconnect system.
