Ribbon Cable through 90 degree mitre bend


I need to model a computer ribbon cable through a 90 mitre bend ( the
one where it is folded over to change direction by 90 degrees but
still in the flat plane of the ribbon)
I just can't seem to get it to loft. Anyone succeded in this or can
point to a sample somewhere on the web
Thanks in advance.

This quick response, as I'm off to bed, its far from accurate, especially where the cable folds, but it may suffice.

I used to do this with sheet metal. Just draw a line across the cable at 45 deg and let it bend.

Thanks John - thats exactly what I need - Did not think of one cable and then patterning it :-) _ I am an idiot.
