ABSTRACT:
A printed circuit board interconnect system having flat or ribbon cable folded in a pattern and supported in that pattern so that a large number of boards in an upper rack can be connected each by a respective cable to corresponding boards among a large number of boards in a lower rack in an orderly fashion while preserving the pin orientation for the boards. The cables are each folded at the ends in right angle bends that convert the horizontal direction to vertical but reverses the conductor orientation. In a central portion of the vertical extending cable, it is folded in two further right angle bends and mid way between them with a 180 degree bend. The central bend reestablishes the conductor orientation. A multi-row comb serves to support the ribbon cable in the central region and keep one cable separate from another.
