Embodiments of the invention relate to electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection. One embodiment includes a first dissipative adhesive (DA) connected to at least a portion of multiple leads in a first plane of a flexible cable in a coverage area for providing ESD protection to at least one element of an electronic device. A common bus bar is connected to the leads in a second plane of the flexible cable. Conductivity of the common bus bar is greater than conductivity of the first DA and the first plane and the second plane are different planes of the flexible cable.
