They offer a simple and cost-effective way to interconnect the components of digital systems, offering flexibility, light weight and good reliability. Regardless of the complexity of the system, this kind of cable ensures that all wires are connected correctly, guaranteeing reliable connection and long cables life.

Application

Flat Flex Ribbon Jumper Cables are typically used in robotic and automation systems and integrated circuits applications. Usually, it is used in the following applications:

• Educational laboratory experiments
• Data logging and field instrumentation applications
• Electronic control and operation of robotic systems
• Sensing, automation and testing systems
• Signal communication between devices

Working Principle

Flat Flex Ribbon Jumper Cables are composed of a flexible flat cable, that contains several individual insulated conductors. These cables are designed to be routed through any robotic arm, allowing a simple connection to any peripheral device. The conductors inside the cable are usually made of high quality copper, which ensures a stable connection between the different components of the system.

The conductors are usually encapsulated in an insulating material, like PVC or polyurethane, to provide resistance to wear and tear, as well as to protect the conductors from any mechanical or chemical damage. The insulation material also helps to reduce the risk of short circuits and any other electrical hazards, improving the performance and reliability of the cable.

The conductors are usually surrounded by a flexible outer jacket, usually made of PVC. This jacket provides additional benefits, like better flexibility, easier handling and protection against mechanical damage. The jacket also serves as an extra layer of insulation, which helps to protect the cable from any environmental or other damages.

Conclusion

Flat Flex Ribbon Jumper Cables are one of the most popular and reliable methods of connecting digital systems. Offering flexibility, light weight and good reliability, they are perfect for interconnecting components, making it easier and faster to configure and control the system. With its flexible and easy-to-install design, this kind of cable is used in many different applications, like educational laboratory experiments, data logging and field instrumentation, robotic control, and signal communication between devices.
