Abstract
A cable having an electrostatic discharge (ESD) dissipative layer in one embodiment includes a plurality of leads; an ESD dissipative layer; and a coupling layer between the leads and the ESD dissipative layer, the coupling layer electrically connecting each of the leads, individually, to the ESD dissipative layer. A cable having an electrostatic discharge (ESD) dissipative layer in another embodiment comprises at least 16 leads; an ESD dissipative layer; and a coupling layer between the leads and the ESD dissipative layer, the coupling layer electrically connecting each of the leads, individually, to the ESD dissipative layer. A method for fabricating a cable in one embodiment comprises coupling an electrostatic discharge (ESD) dissipative layer to a plurality of leads using a coupling layer between the leads and the ESD dissipative layer, the coupling layer electrically connecting each of the leads, individually, to the ESD dissipative layer.
