Flexible circuit applique patch customization for generic programmable cable assemblies

A customized programmable cable assembly comprising:

• a first connector comprising a first plurality of mating contacts for contacting and mating with contacts on a connected device;
• said first connector further comprising a printed circuit, said printed circuit further comprising a first plurality of conductors extending from and in electrical contact with said mating contacts, a first plurality of termination pads electrically connected to said conductors, and a plurality of second termination pads;
• an electrical cable comprising a second plurality of conductors, each of said second plurality of conductors disposed in electrical contact with one of said plurality of second termination pads;
• said first termination pads disposed spaced from said second termination pads;
• an applique comprising a flexible multi-layer circuit having exposed termination pads disposed in an array corresponding to placement of said first termination pad and said second termination pads, at least one of said applique termination pads electrically interconnected with another of said applique termination pads;
• said applique juxtaposed to said first termination pads and said second termination pads with corresponding ones of said applique termination pads and said contacting termination pads joined to form an electrical connection there between,
• whereby a cable having a designated conductor assignment at one end may be customized to present a different conductor assignment at another end thereof.
