Flat Flex & Ribbon Jumper Cables

0151671016 Application field and working principle of flat flex and ribbon jumper cables.

Application Fields

Flat Flex and Ribbon Jumper Cables are ideal for wiring applications in industrial equipment, telecommunications, computers/peripherals, and datacenter and server racks. Both have become increasingly popular for use in the industrial sector due to their versatile and reliable performance.

Working Principles

Flat Flex Cables

Flat Flex Cables are composed of two flexible flat cables connected together to form a single flexible conductor. The flat cables are made from stranded copper conductors with a thin plastic jacket providing insulation. The cables are designed to be flexible and fit into tight spaces or situations that require the maneuverability of a flat cable profile. They are available in standard lengths of 1, 2, and 3 meters and can be connected using connectors and/or crimp tools.

Ribbon Jumper Cables

Ribbon Jumper Cables are constructed of individual insulated wires with a single plastic jacket. The ribbon cable is flexible and is formed into a ribbon shape. This shape allows for many insulated conductors to be laid side by side and coiled into a manageable shape. The individual wires are designed to be connected to designated pins in a device or panel. The combination of flat and round cables allows for increased distances, higher current, and higher voltages than flat flex cables. Ribbon jumper cables are available in standard lengths of 0.5, 1, and 2 meters and the insulation can be color-coded for easier identification. Ribbon jumper cables can be connected using a variety of methods, including crimping tools, contacts, and tools.

Conclusion

Flat Flex and Ribbon Jumper Cables are versatile and reliable, making them ideal for use in a variety of settings. They provide increased distance, higher current, and higher voltages than flat flex cables. With the right connectors, tools, and crimping methods, the cables can be connected quickly and securely for reliable performance in the long term.
