ABSTRACT:
An interface cable which allows access to an operational Peripheral Component Interconnect (PCI) bus compatible circuit board is disclosed. A flat flexible cable (30,72) secures a plurality of connectors (50,32,36,38) at substantially equal intervals. The connectors on the flat cable are adapted to receive a connection (62,63,64,66,68) on a first edge of the PCI compatible circuit board (82,90). When the PCI compatible circuit board is plugged into the flat flexible cable, a second edge of the PCI compatible circuit board which is opposite the first edge is free to move laterally, away from neighboring circuit boards in response to a flexing of the flat flexible cable. Open space is created adjacent to the PCI compatible circuit board allowing sufficient access to surfaces of the functioning PCI compatible circuit board for testing purpose.
