ABSTRACT:
A previously fabricated flat flexible cable (10) includes tears and/or micro-fissures, micro-cuts or other defects or imperfections, depicted by jagged or wavy lines (16), in its edges (18). A multi-fiber tread (20), placed at the cable's edges, is enclosed within, between and/or atop one or more layers of adhesive film (22). A bond material (26) bonds the film layers to themselves at their ends (28), to the cable respectively at its sides (24), and to the thread. The bond material is also bonded to and within the micro-fissures, micro-cuts or other defects for repair thereof. The bond material also bonds thread (20) to portions of the cable adjacent to the tear to prevent further propagation of the tear into the cable.
