Do a search for zebra connector for more info.

I'm familiar with a foam Zebra strip which is several millimeters thick.
I've never seen that material used to make a ribbon cable. The ribbon
cable in question is made with two thin layers of plastic film sandwiched
together. One inner surface has the conductor traces and the other is the
protective layer over the conductors. The cable is less than 1-mm thick.

IME rubber zebra strips - haven't seen foam. However it is a fact that some
processes are not doable in the field and it is possible that this is one.
