Patent ID: 8445789

Claim:
A cable, comprising: a substrate; an outer layer positioned opposite the substrate; a plurality of leads sandwiched between the substrate and the outer layer, the plurality of leads lying in a common plane extending parallel to a side of the substrate facing the plurality of leads and the outer layer; and an electrostatically dissipative adhesive operatively electrically coupling the plurality of leads together, the adhesive comprising a mixture of an adhesive material and electrically conductive particles intermixed with the adhesive material; and an insulating layer between all adjacent pairs of leads in the plurality of leads, the insulating layer being different than the electrostatically dissipative adhesive, wherein the adhesive is sandwiched between the substrate and the plurality of leads for coupling the substrate to the plurality of leads, wherein the adhesive is also sandwiched between the plurality of leads and the outer layer for coupling the outer layer to the plurality of leads.
