Abstract: A junction device for flat flexible cables (FFCs) includes a device housing, a power contact, a signal contact assembly, and a data contact assembly. The power contact defines an input power FFC connection, an output power FFC connection, and a breakout power FFC connection, with the input, output and breakout FFC connections being electrically interconnected. The signal contact assembly defines an input signal FFC connection, an output signal FFC connection, and a breakout signal FFC connection. The signal contact assembly is adapted to output a signal to the breakout signal FFC connection indicative of a signal received at the input signal FFC connection. The data contact assembly includes an input data FFC connection, an output data FFC connection, and a breakout data FFC connection. The data contact assembly is adapted to output a data signal received at the input FFC connection from the output FFC connection and the breakout FFC connection.

Abstract: A flat flexible cable assembly comprises a flat flexible cable including a plurality of conductors embedded within an insulation material, and a seal directly bonded to an exterior of the flat flexible cable continuously about its perimeter.
