Abstract:
A cable, comprising:first and second layers, each of said first and second layers being generally flexibly planar and including two or more conductors aligned in a plane of said respective first and second layers, each one of said two or more conductors of each of said first and second layers being encapsulated by an insulator and being separated from an adjacent conductor by a predetermined distance, said first layer being planarly stacked against said second layer and being offset from said second layer by an offset distance, said two or more conductors of said first layer being substantially parallel to said two or more conductors of said second layer; and a connector disposed at a position along said first and second layers, said connector having at least two pins disposed generally perpendicular to a plane in which at least part of said first and second layers is disposed, one of said at least two pins coupling with one of said two or more conductors of said first layer and another of said at least two pins coupling with one of said two or more conductors of said second layer, at least one of said at least two pins penetrating through one of said first and second layers without contacting any of said two or more conductors of the other of said first and second layers to couple with one of said two or more conductors of the other of said first and second layers.
