Hello all,
So, to make a long story short, i have a piece of equipment that was not removed properly from its original home. This resulted in the cutting of, among other things, a ribbon cable.
The cable is a rather coarse one if i recall, with around 20 conductors. The cut is clean and more or less square to the cable.
So, since i want to get this piece of equipment working once more, i need to mend this cable. (or replace it)
So, since i have never had to deal with a cut ribbon cable before, i decided to ask you guys for help.
Note: The cable is not flat flex, its individual strands of copper coated in insulation and molded together with the conductor next to it.
So, here are the options i have come up with sofar:
- Replace the cable completely (more time consuming, as it is not a standard cable)
- Solder together each conductor and put heat shrink on top
- Get crimp cable connectors to reconnect the cable
So, which should i go for?
If anyone has another idea, please tell me
