Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

Flat Flex cables, also known as ribbon jumper cables, are flexible flat cables used to make electrical connections between devices. They are widely used in high-speed signal transmission applications in various fields, such as aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, and medical. The technical parameters of the flat flex cables are mainly based on the type and size of the conductor, as well as the overall size of the cable.

Applications

Flat Flex cables are used in many applications. They are most commonly used in the aerospace, automotive, consumer electronics, and medical industries. In aerospace applications, they are used to transfer data between satellites, aircraft, and ground systems, and to interconnect propulsion systems, servos, control systems, and other components. In automotive applications, they are used for infotainment systems, audio systems, and various other sensing technologies. In consumer electronics, they are used in flat panel displays, touch screens, and other digital devices. In medical applications, they are used for patient care systems, monitoring systems, imaging systems, and various other medical devices.

Working Principle

Flat Flex cables use flexible stainless steel or copper flat ribbon conductors. These conductors are arranged in a zig zag pattern that allows the cable to bend in any direction. This gives the cable high flexibility and strength for use in harsh environments. The flat ribbon conductors are insulated with a protective jacket that shields the electrical components from outside interference. The overall size of the cable is determined by the number of conductors and the thickness of the insulation.

The electrical signals that are transferred through the flat flex cables are controlled by the flat flex bus system. This system uses differential signaling, which transmits two electrical signals simultaneously. The signals are transmitted in opposite directions and are balanced. This minimizes interference and noise. The flat flex bus system has a higher signal-to-noise ratio than other types of bus systems, making it ideal for high speed data transmission applications.
