Abstract
A cable in one embodiment includes a plurality of leads; and an electrostatic discharge (ESD) dissipative layer operatively coupled to the leads, the ESD dissipative layer being characterized as being at least one of translucent, semi-transparent or transparent. A cable in another embodiment includes a plurality of leads; an ESD dissipative layer operatively coupled to the leads, the ESD dissipative layer; and a metallic layer operatively coupled to the leads, the metallic and ESD dissipative layers being characterized as being at least one of translucent, semi-transparent or transparent. A cable in another embodiment includes a plurality of leads; a metallic layer operatively coupled to the leads, the metallic layer being characterized as being at least one of translucent, semi-transparent or transparent, wherein the metallic layer has a volume resistivity of greater than 1×10ohm·cm as defined by ANSI/EIA-541-1988; and an insulating layer positioned between the metallic layer and the leads.
