Can you fold a data ribbon?

[Phil2008]

I bought 1 of these for my 3d printer to have better access to the sd card, but the cable is too long. so can you fold and seriously flatten the ribbon without damaging it?

I'm modding the sd reader something similar to this.

Thanks guys all done, just folded the cable, pinched it a bit as you can see and stuck a bit of tape around to hold it.. Not a brilliant job but you cant see the ribbon from the front and thats all that matters. I did a 7hr print last night without any problems...
