Abstract
A cable in one embodiment comprises a plurality of leads; and an electrostatically dissipative adhesive operatively electrically coupling the leads together, the adhesive comprising a mixture of an adhesive material and electrically conductive particles intermixed with the adhesive material. A method in one embodiment comprises applying an electrostatically dissipative adhesive to exposed leads of a cable for operatively electrically coupling the leads together, the adhesive comprising a mixture of an adhesive material and electrically conductive particles intermixed with the adhesive material. Additional embodiments are presented.
