Hi,

Dearest Mercedesfahrer Wolfgang - you must be tired. "rubensans" is not BÃ¥rd - but BÃ¥rd is indeed "ansan".

And as far as these flat cables go - I hope they are reliable.

Cheers to Northern CA,
Birger

what does "BÃ¥rd" means?

Sorry, rubensans, I mixed you up with ansan, as Birger pointed out... [:D]
Maybe you can fill out your location?

I'm in Spain.

I was asking about good news because I used a similar product in electronics like laptops and Marine telematics with a bad result.

I suppose they have improved a lot the material.

Best Regards.

Hi, Ruben

what does "BÃ¥rd" means?

Nothing particular, I think, it's just Ansan's first "real-life" name. It may have a deeper meaning, but I'll leave it to him, as a born Norwegian, to explain if he wants so.

Although my name is also Norwegian, I must admit not having a clue to it's deeper meaning, nor if there's a correspondance to other names.

Cheers,
Birger

To answer your question, Ruben, if it's good or bad, here are the advantages and disadvantages listed, as Mercedes sees them.

How can something be called Elastolan and be brittle? [:0]

Or is it like fiber, where the material itself is brittle, but when jacketed it works much better? Does this also mean that you're SOL if you're in a major accident?
