Abstract:
1. A flat cable for connecting a first electronic unit and a second electronic unit, the flat cable comprising: a plurality of signal lines which are divided into a plurality of signal groups which are stacked with respect to one another, wherein at least a part of the signal groups are spatially separated from one another via a separating section formed starting at least a predefined distance from the first electric unit and ending at least a predefined distance from the second electric unit; a plurality of connectors which are respectively provided at opposite ends of the plurality of signal lines; and a binding member which binds the plurality of signal groups and extends for only part of a length of the flat cable, wherein the plurality of signal groups are stacked at an intermediate position along the length of the flat cable, wherein the plurality of signal groups include two signals having opposed polarities to each other, wherein at least one of the spatially separated signal groups further comprises two signal lines for transmitting a “+” signal and two signal lines for transmitting a “−” signal, wherein the plurality of signal lines transmit a low voltage differential signaling signal, wherein the at least one of the spatially separated signal groups is separated from remaining spatially separated signal groups by a first separating section on a first side of the at least one of the spatially separated signal groups and a second separating section on a second side of the at least one of the spatially separated signal groups, and the first and second separating sections comprise slits, and wherein another one of the spatially separated signal groups comprises two ground lines disposed on a same plane.
