Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables – 0150200094 Application Field and Working Principle

Flat Flex/Ribbon jumper cables are made up of multiple individual conductive wires in a criss-cross pattern, laminated between two sheets of heat-shrinkable polyester film, and encased in a UV-resistant PVC protective cover. The Ribbon Jumper Cable is designed to provide a cost-effective and convenient means of making connections with transformer primaries, lighting circuits, antennae or other equipment. Ribbon Jumper Cables are designed with two to four cores, with or without a shield. Depending on the application the jumper cable can be customized to satisfy the specific requirements.

Application Field

Ribbon Jumper Cables are widely used in numerous high voltage applications in a variety of industries. Typical applications include:

• Transformers
• Starters
• Switchgear
• Lighting circuits
• Telephone lines
• Antennae
• Cable TV and other satellite systems

Working Principle

The Ribbon Jumper Cables use an advanced electric design which enables it to provide a cost-effective and reliable way to connect two items of equipment. Each conductor core is constructed from solid copper wire strands which are insulated with an insulating film. The interwoven conductor cores are then combined to form a flat, flexible cable, which is then over-sheathed with a protective polyurethane jacket. This modern design provides flexibility, allowing it to be used in applications which require a variety of lengths and current ratings.

The performance of the Ribbon Jumper Cable is designed to meet stringent safety requirements. This is achieved through the use of a specialized insulating material and a polyurethane cover layer, which provides high mechanical and electrical protection against environmental elements. The Ribbon Jumper Cables are also designed to meet the highest possible fire ratings, providing users with superior safety assurance.

Conclusion

Flat Flex/Ribbon jumper cables are an effective solution for high voltage applications which require a reliable and cost-effective connection. The unique design of the Ribbon Jumper Cables allows them to be used in a variety of industries, ensuring a secure connection is established every time. The advanced electrical design of the Ribbon Jumper Cable also ensures superior performance and safety, while the additional layer of protection ensures the product can stand up to a multitude of environmental stresses.
