Abstract: Embodiments of the invention include a plurality of flexible electrical conductors configured as a cable wherein a plurality of signal pairs connect printed circuit boards in an array of data storage devices or just a bunch of disks (JBOD) enclosure. By controlling various specific dimensions relating to each signal pair of electrical conductors in a flexible cable, the performance of a JBOD box or a data storage server can be maximized. Furthermore, flexible cable designs can themselves replace bulkier circuit boards enabling greater air flow through the JBOD box or data storage server.
