Adaptor for routing flat ribbon cables

摘要

An angle adaptor for use in effecting coplanar routing schemes with flat ribbon cables. A unitary planar guide member around which the flat ribbon cable is folded in a desired routing angle employs hingeable arms to secure the ribbon cable to the guide member near the edges where the ribbon cable approaches and exits the member. The edge around which the ribbon cable is folded is cross-sectionally configured to eliminate sharp creases in the cable and thereby minimize cable conductor stress.
