Continuous strip of jumper cable assemblies

A continuous strip of jumper cable assemblies, each assembly being comprised of a length of cable having a plurality of insulated electrical conductors therein, with each conductor having a first end with a first connecting means thereon, an intermediate portion and a second end with a second connecting means thereon, each connecting means having an attaching portion and a mating portion, the strip being characterized in that:

• the cable has a plurality of closely spaced apart parallel pairs of perforation lines, each pair of perforation lines being separated from the next pair of lines by the desired jumper cable length,
• the perforation lines traverse the strip in a direction essentially normal to that of the conductors, each pair of perforation lines marking the end of one and the beginning of another jumper cable assembly,
• the strip further has a plurality of spaced apart connecting means attached to each conductor, the connecting means being attached to the cable in essentially parallel lines proximate to the perforation lines so that the perforation lines are above the mating portions of the connecting means and the mating portions of the connecting means along one of each pair of perforation lines face the mating portions of the connector means along the second of each pair of perforation lines whereby,
• the individual jumper assemblies can be removed from the strip by severing the cable along the pairs of perforation lines beneath the mating portions of the connecting means.
