Abstract
A lumped resistance electrical cable has a multiple twisted pair ribbon cable having first and second conductive lines and twisted and untwisted portions. In the untwisted portions, one of the conductive lines on each of the twisted pairs is formed with an electrical open. Resistor blocks having resistive elements and electrical contacts is disposed on the untwisted portions with the electrical contacts electrically coupling the resistive elements across the electrical opens in the conductive lines. Other electrical contacts in the connector couple the other conductive lines of the twisted pairs to an ground plane formed on the resistor block.
