French term or phrase: Toron
""Veiller à positionner le nouveau jetter de manière à ce que le toron rouge (rep. 1) en sortie du jetter soit situé en face du connecteur (rep. 2).

Term used to describe a connector inside a printing system. The connector has many loose-hanging strands that look like very thin spaghetti. I realize that "toron" means "strand". But here they're referring to the whole kit and kaboodle, i.e the strands attached to their connector, which is plugged into a printed circuit board. Does anyone know if there is a specific term for such a kind of connector?

Again, I can send an image privately.

TIA,

Stephen
