Split flex cable

Abstract

A cable assembly for interconnecting a plurality of circuit boards together by using a connector assembly connected to each of the circuit boards. The cable assembly includes a first cable having a first end part and a second cable having a second end part. A first periphery of the first end part has a plurality of first half vias that collectively form a column along a width direction of the connector assembly. A second periphery of the second end part has a plurality of second half vias that collectively form a column along the width direction of the connector assembly. The first and second end parts are coupled together to form a connecting unit, such that the first half vias and the second half vias are joined together to form full vias.

1 . A method for manufacturing a flex cable assembly including a flex cable and a connector assembly connected to the flex cable, the method comprising:
 providing a plurality of split parts, wherein each of the plurality of split parts forms an end part of a cable to be connected to the connector assembly and has a plurality of partial vias;   aligning the plurality of split parts so that the partial vias are joined together to form full vias; and   attaching the connector assembly to the plurality of split parts.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of split parts include a first split part having a plurality of first partial vias and a second split part having a plurality of second partial vias. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of partial vias include semi-circle shaped vias. 
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of partial vias include quarter-circle shaped vias. 
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of partial vias include three-quarter-circle shaped vias. 
     
     
         6 . The method of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of split parts include at least three split parts.
