Hello Technet,

I am interested in learning about Multi-Wire applications.  I
would like to understand when multi-wire is a good design choice
over PWB, and when it is a bad choice.

Also of interest is the operating environment.  For example,
would multi-wire be used in jet engine controls? If not, why? 
NASA applications?  Does Belcore talk about multi-wire for the
communication industry?

Are there unique assembly issues, repairability, etc.

One specific question.  Since the wire-via connection is only the
cross section of the wire, are the innerconnect reliability issues
more of a problem in multi-wire than PWB?  (Lord knows PWB's have
had their share of innerconnect problems)
