CRIP EATIN BREAD posted:were ribbon cables designed like that for any particular reason? was it just the manufacturing process of insulating cables in a flat ribbon was easier than doing something else? they started out flat because thats the way IDC connectors work, yeah. do you remember that there were 40-conductor and 80-conductor IDE cables? even though the connectors are all 40-pin. well, for higher data speeds (i forget if it was ata100 or ata133) they added a ground wire in between each signal wire, to reduce crosstalk. then people go and mush these carefully separated cables into a round sleeve, and all the data conductors are all next to each other again, and you get errors / negotiated down to a slower speed. round cables were so dumb
