Flat Flex

Flat flex cables, also known as “ribbon cables”, are one of the most versatile and easy to use flexible cabling systems in today’s electronic market. They are composed of a single flat, insulated ribbon of wires, commonly housed in a clear or black PVC sheath. The general size ranges from a 1.0 mm to 4.0 mm wide, though widths can go up to 10.0 mm. These cables are designed for internal and external peripherals, such as disk drives, scanners, and disk drives.

The flexible cables are by far the most popular for their ability to bend and shape without hardening or kinking, due to the flat design. This makes them great for tight spaces and in-panel wiring solutions where a mechanical stress and a wide range of temperatures are a factor. The wires are insulated by a thin Mylar layer, held together with adhesive. Insulation thickness can vary from 0.1 to 0.4 millimeters.

Ribbon Jumper Cables

Ribbon jumper cables often are used interchangeably with flat flexible cable, though there is a distinct difference. Ribbon jumpers are made up of a ribbon of wires that produce connections at each end. These “jumpers” are made with several types of insulation sleeve, including Mylar or Fibre-Reinforced Plastic (FRP). The wire count for ribbon jumpers range from 2 to 256 wires and the length of jumpers range from 2 to 300 inches.

Ribbon jumper cables are used in a wide variety of applications, such as data communication, signal transmission, DC power distribution, and interconnection for consumer markets. This type of cable is an all-round reliable and efficient cable for end-to-end connections, providing customers with cost-effective solutions for signal transmission through any environment.
