1. An insulation piercing cable connection system, comprising an insulation piercing cable, and an insulation piercing cable connector,
wherein said insulation piercing cable comprises a flat cable having a plurality of three or more conductors embedded in insulation material,
wherein a cross-section of the insulation piercing cable has a perimeter with two orthogonal axes of symmetry,
wherein the conductors as arranged in said cross-section have point symmetry,
wherein said insulation piercing cable connector comprises a cavity for receiving said insulation piercing cable,
wherein said cavity comprises a plurality of three or more cable piercing conductors,
wherein the plurality of cable piercing conductors in the insulation piercing cable connector is equal to the plurality of conductors in the insulation piercing cable, and
wherein said insulation piercing cable connector is compatible to be electrically connected to said insulation piercing cable by piercing the insulation of said insulation piercing cable with said cable piercing conductors.
