ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a re-formable multi-conductor flat, or ribbon, cable, which comprises a plurality of spaced insulated conductors, aligned in a predetermined, laterally spaced, pattern along a single sheet or film of plastic, the single sheet of plastic being only intermittently bonded to the laterally spaced conductors. The intermittent bonding pattern preferably utilized is one that results in transverse, peelably bonded, areas extending across the width of the entire cable alternating with transverse unbonded areas which also extend across the width of the entire cable. Cable harness units are formed from such cable, by severing a main cable along adjacent bonded areas, mass-terminating conductor ends within the bonded areas, severing the film in the non-bonded area to create a pair of tear tabs, removing the bonding films by exerting manual force on said tear tabs to free the intermediate portions of the conductors so that they may be re-arranged or re-formed to fit optimally within a confined space.
