Flat Flex

Flat Flex cables are flat-profile flexible cables used in computer and telecommunications assemblies. They provide flexible connections between disparate components while also taking up minimal space between the components. Characteristically, the flat-flex cables have two layers to their flex layers: a top surface layer with solid insulation, and a bottom layer that is suspended with a few millimeters of air between it and the top surface layer. The outer surface of each layer is usually either made of stainless steel or plastic.

Ribbon Jumper Cables

Ribbon jumper cables are electrical wires connected with jumpers and similar in appearance to flat-flex cables. Ribbon jumper cables are used to connect two or more points along a main wire such as in ribbon cables. The cables consist of tiny conductors bonded together and insulated with polyethylene. The insulation on the cables come in various colors, allowing users to easily identify the wires. Ribbon jumpers are usually identified by their pitch value, referring to the spacing between the adjacent conductors in the cable.

0151680297 Application Field and Working Principle

Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables are primarily used in data communication, medical, and automation applications. Flat flex cables are usually used where minimal space is required, and are found in a variety of connectors, such as SCSI, VGA, Panel-Mount, and Serial. Ribbon jumper cables, on the other hand, are most commonly used in micro-electronics and robotics, where jumpers need to connect multiple signals without creating too much bulk. Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables employ the principle of electric signals being carried along conductive mediums, which in this case are copper wires insulated with plastic or stainless steel.
