Patent ID: 7098404

Claim:
A multiconductor cable having a plurality of wires and an electric connector, the cable consisting essentially of: two ends at which the wires are arranged in a flat array with a specific pitch and connected to the electric connector; an intermediate portion at which the wires are bundled together; and two transforming portions between the intermediate portion and each of the two ends, wherein the wires have lengths different from one another, the lengths varying successively from the minimum length, Ls, to the maximum length, Lm, lengths of the wires at the intermediate portion are substantially same, lengths of the wires at the transforming portions are different from each other, and the multiconductor cable satisfying the formulae D/E> ⅙, and ( Lm−Ls )>{( D 2 +E 2 ) 1/2 −E}, where D is the width of the cable at both ends, E is the distance between the ends of the cable, Lm is the maximum length, and Ls is the minimum length.
