This is directed to a cable for use with an electronic device. The cable can be substantially flat, such that all of the conductive wires of the cable are substantially in the same plane. A spacer can be placed between the wires to ensure that wires conducting signals remain a minimum distance apart to avoid signal degradation. The spacer can also control the bending of the cables to favor bending in a preferred direction while reducing or limiting bending in a less preferred direction.
