Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

0152661044 application field and working principle refer to a type of electrical cable primarily constructed with flexible wire that is typically flat and wide, and can be used for a wide range of applications in diverse industries and environments. Oftentimes, users will utilize ribbon jumper cables that have two layers of flat flexible cable that is insulated in a specific way to provide the required flexibility and mechanical properties needed for the application. Given its reliance on the insulated flat flexible cable, the basic operating principle behind flat flex, ribbon jumper cable is relatively simple.

The ribbons and cables are typically used in a variety of applications including instrumentation, automation, control and communications. In most cases, the ribbon jumper cable consists of two insulated flat flexible cables that are mechanically insulated together. The two flat flexible cables feature a top and bottom of the cable which act as electrical conductors. When either the top or bottom conductor is electrically inactive, then the entire flat flexible cable gets shorted when the currents circulate through the conductors in opposite directions. The flat flex, ribbon jumper cables function as low voltage connectors and are rarely used in high voltage applications.

The design of flat flex, ribbon jumper cable is primarily dependent on the insulation of the flat flexible cable and the cross-sectional area of the cable. The insulation can be constructed in various ways depending on the application requirements including metal foil, shielding, heat-resistant insulation, flexible insulation, and more. The cable design also includes various material, jacket, and conductor types such as stainless steel, braided metal or wire, and components such as strain reliefs, heat sinks, and connectors. Additionally, the ribbon jumper cable features a wide range of temperatures, voltage, and current ratings with some variations including length, style, and other characteristics.

As the name suggests, flat flex, ribbon jumper cable is relatively easy to install for many applications. The flat flexible cable requires fewer tools and skills to install than a more conventional electrical cable. It does not require the installation of a conduit or wire enclosures, as the insulation creates a strong and reliable connection that can handle a wide range of temperatures and moisture levels. Additionally, the flat flexible cable is often temperature resistant, allowing it to be used in a wider range of applications than other cables.

Finally, because of its flexibility and versatility, the flat flex, ribbon jumper cable has become a popular choice for many industries. From instrumentation, automation, and control to communications and data cables, the cable has been used in a range of different applications. In addition to its use in industrial control systems, the ribbon jumper cable has been useful for computer networking and fiber optics, and can even be used in high-demand applications that require large amounts of electrical current. Throughout the years, the flat flex, ribbon jumper cable has proven to be a reliable and cost-effective option for a wide range of electrical applications.
