Flat Flex

Flat Flex cables are an alternative to traditional round ribbon jumper cables. The small flat type of capacitor is easy to install and manipulate, and isn’t likely to snag on other components. Flat flex cables are used most often where round jumper cables are difficult to attach. Flat flex cables are constructed from a base layer of conductor material, typically copper, with insulation covering the conductor layer. Thin flat plates or tabs made from the same materials as the base are crimped or soldered to the conductor material and then to an electrical component.

In addition, flat flex cables are often insulated or encased in Mylar, or a plastic film to keep out dust and moisture. The flat flexible cable\'s solder points are usually covered with heat-shrinkable protective tubing, or electrical tape.

Ribbon Jumper Cables

Ribbon jumper cables are a type of flat cable, but with several small strands of wire as conductors rather than individual wires. Each strand is usually encased in insulation material. Ribbon jumper cables are more flexible than flat flex cables, and are used in a variety of applications. Ribbon jumper cables are less prone to pinching, making them a good choice in places where there is limited space.

Ribbon jumper cable is usually utilized for interconnecting between motherboards, hard drives and other components inside of a computer system. Wires may be terminated into a variety of connectors, such as termination loops, individual wires, and D-Sub connectors.

Ribbon jumper cables use the same materials as flat flex cables - a base of conductor material, such as copper, covered in insulation material, and thin flat plates or tabs crimped or soldered to the conductors.

The flat flex and ribbon jumper cables are most often used in the telecommunications field. They are used to connect two pieces of equipment, such as a router and an access network, or an antenna and a radio receiver. They are also used to connect two segments of the same network. Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables use a simple working principle – the transfer of electric current from one point to another.

Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables also have a wide range of applications in the computer field. They are used to connect components inside of computers, like motherboards and hard drives. They are also used to connect keyboards, mouse, and other peripherals to the computer. The small size of flat flex and ribbon jumper cables allows them to be used in tight spaces, and makes them perfect for many different types of applications.
