Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

When attempting to connect two devices, such as a computer and a router, flat flex, ribbon jumper cables are the optimal choice. Flat flex cables are thin, flat cables that have multiple strands of wires running in parallel; each one is insulated and encased in a very thin insulation. The main advantage to this type of connection is that it is low cost and low profile, making it ideal for tight spaces or applications where a lot of cabling is required.

Flat flex cables are made of two flat strips covered with metal conductors that can be connected to each other in a variety of ways, depending on the application. The flexibility of the material allows the cables to be bent to fit into tight spaces and can be wrapped around other flat cables. In addition, the thinness of the wire allows the cable to be much more tightly bound than with traditional, round-cabled wires.

Ribbon jumper cables are similar to flat flex cables, but differ in their ability to be soldered very easily. Because each wire is insulated, it can be individually soldered to a circuit board, or connector. This eliminates the need for larger wire harnesses and makes assembly much simpler. The flexibility of the ribbon cables also allows them to be bent or twisted in order to fit tight spaces and into odd shaped systems.

When using either flat flex or ribbon jumper cables, the working principle is very similar. Both cables are constructed with multiple strands of wire encased in thin insulation. In order to make the connection, the wires must be soldered onto the circuit board or connector. If the connection is to be permanent, a solder joint must be created; if the connection is temporary, then a non-soldered connection is typically used.

Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables are extremely useful in many applications, from connecting computers to routers to connecting end-user devices to circuit boards in consumer electronics. These cables are extremely thin and light, allowing them to be used in tight spaces. They can also be used in large projects, as the thin, flexible insulation allows them to be laid neatly and bound together. Most importantly, they are inexpensive, making them suitable for a variety of applications.
