ABSTRACT:
A customized cable for the interconnection of electronic devices or electronic interfaces is accomplished by the application of an applique patch containing custom desired circuits for interconnecting the interrupted connectors in the cable itself. The applique patch may be inserted into the connector housing through an aperture in the connector housing thereby allowing customization or rework of the cable, if necessary, to correct a defect or to make repairs. The applique patch then is connected to provide electrical connections between the conductors of the cables and the connector and to reroute the signals to a different signal assignment arrangement at the connector.
