An electrical cable (1000) including a plurality of substantially parallel insulated conductors (100) is described. Each insulated conductor (100) includes an electrically conductive inner conductor (200) co-extensive and covered with an insulating layer (300). At least a portion of a periphery of each insulated conductor (100) may be encompassed by a substantially co-extensive electrically conductive shield (400). For each insulated conductor (100), portions of the insulating layer (300) are removed from the top side (1200) of the cable (1000) to expose a portion of the inner conductor (200) of the insulated conductor (100). The insulated conductor (100) is adapted to mate with an electrically conductive mating conductor (500) at the exposed portion (210) of the inner conductor (200).
An electrical cable comprising a plurality of substantially parallel insulated conductors extending along a length direction of the cable, each insulated conductor comprising an electrically conductive inner conductor covered with an insulating layer, the insulating layer of at least one insulated conductor in the plurality of insulated conductors being separated from the insulating layer of at least one other insulated conductor in the plurality of insulated conductors, such that when the electrical cable is laid flat defining opposing major top and bottom sides of the cable, for at least one insulated conductor in the plurality of insulated conductors, a longer first portion of the inner conductor of the at least one insulated conductor is exposed on the top side of the cable, and a shorter second portion of the inner conductor of the at least one insulated conductor is exposed on the bottom side of the cable, the longer first portion at least partially overlapping the shorter second portion, the inner conductor adapted to mate with an electrically conductive mating conductor at the exposed longer first portion of the inner conductor.
An electrical cable comprising a plurality of substantially parallel insulated conductors extending along a length direction of the cable, each insulated conductor comprising an electrically conductive inner conductor covered with an insulating layer, at least 70% of a periphery of each insulated conductor encompassed by a substantially co-extensive electrically conductive shield, such that when the electrical cable is laid flat defining opposing major top and bottom sides of the cable, for each insulated conductor, portions of the insulating layer and the conductive shield are removed from the top side of the cable to expose a portion of the inner conductor of the insulated conductor, such that from a top plan view, an average lateral width of the exposed portion of the inner conductor is less than an average lateral width of the inner conductor, the exposed portion of the inner conductor comprising a first end of the inner conductor on a same first end of the cable, the insulated conductor adapted to mate with an electrically conductive mating conductor at the exposed portion of the inner conductor.
An electrical cable comprising a plurality of substantially parallel insulated conductors extending along a length direction of the cable, each insulated conductor comprising an electrically conductive inner conductor co-extensive and covered with an insulating layer, and an electrically conductive shield substantially co-extensive with and surrounding each insulated conductor, such that when the electrical cable is laid flat defining opposing major top and bottom sides of the cable, for each insulated conductor, portions of the insulating layer and the conductive shield are removed from the top side of the cable to expose a portion of the inner conductor of the insulated conductor, such that from a top plan view, an average lateral width of the exposed portion of the inner conductor is less than an average lateral width of the inner conductor, the exposed portion of the inner conductor comprising a first end of the inner conductor on a same first end of the cable, the insulated conductor adapted to mate with an electrically conductive mating conductor at the exposed portion of the inner conductor.
