Hi Tofflemire,
Thanks for the response. I'm not sure what you mean, might be because I didn't describe my configuration clearly for you... The conductors are inside the zip cord. The metal strands have a 2 inch lay within their own foam FEP insulation, but the insulation/conductor unit as...
Hi NT,
Thanks for the reply. Your problem may have gone away temporarily but that might be because your product is on the edge between pass and fail... Best to do some standard testing on it.
There is some difficulty here as if I bend the cable this way:

Hi EdStainless,
There is a retainer molded over the split location, a sort of Y shaped strain relief if you will. I do not understand how that would be applied to the connector strain relief end where the flat cable meets the connector, unless you mean to split the cable again prior to it's...
Hi rnd2 and MintJulep,
Both ideas have merit, and again, I appreciate all the help provided so far.
Changing the geometry is one of the things that have been discussed and while it is possible, there are limitations to what we can do. Mostly because of the dielectric requirements, but...
It seems DXF is a standard format, but I agree with drawoh in that sometimes the CAD system on the other end isn't as compatible as initially thought... symbols, fonts, etc. can be distorted, misplaced, or even missing.
PDF is a good format also (and we do use the official Adobe Acrobat...
Hey MintJulep,
Yes, the cable is hardwired to the paddles on one end and a connector on the other end. There are two paddle handles and the cable is split for a decent length prior to entering the handles. More later.
The test is very specific and the setup is standard. I don't think we...
Hi out there,
I have been working on an issue for a while now and I think I have reached my wits end here... I hope someone out there can at least point me in the right direction. Let me see if I can explain this:
I have an issue which involves a cable that consists of two legs joined...
Hey nigelt,
I just posted a similar but more specific question in another thread...
There are industry standard tests that should apply to your product, for example, an IEC flex test. It may turn out that the standard test does not fit the use model (we had that happen here to another...
