## Abstract

A flex flat cable (FFC) structure includes metallic transmission wires arranged in parallel, first insulating jackets, and second insulating jacket. The metallic transmission wires includes one or more power wires and signal wires. The power wire is configured to transmit power. The signal wires are configured to transmit a data signal. Each of first insulating jackets encloses one of metallic transmission wires. The second insulating jacket surrounds the first insulating jackets. An embossment pattern is arranged on an external surface of the second insulating jacket. The embossment pattern includes meander lines in a top-view direction and in an extending direction for the metallic transmission wires. The meander lines are not arranged parallel.
