Patent ID: 8233241

Claim:
A flex cable assembly comprising: a flex cable for conducting data signals from a head stack assembly to a connector, said flex cable having a dynamic loop section between a termination for said head stack assembly and said connector, said dynamic loop section comprising: a top and bottom edge; a first side coupled with said termination for said head stack assembly; and a second side coupled with said connector; one or more weight assemblies coupled with said dynamic loop section of said flex cable at a location to reduce flex cable oscillation, each of said weight assemblies comprising: a weight coupled with a first surface of a pressure sensitive adhesive; and a second surface of said pressure sensitive adhesive coupled with said dynamic loop, wherein said pressure sensitive adhesive is a damping layer and is positioned along at least one of said top edge and bottom edge of said dynamic loop section such that said one or more weight assemblies coupled with said dynamic loop section re-distributes mass along said flex cable.
