Flat Flex

Flat Flex Cables are a type of flex cable which has flat conductors or stranded conductors bonded together with a flat insulation and protected by a thin flexible jacket.

They are more flexible than traditional round cables and offer improved abrasion resistance and space savings. Flat flex cables are typically used in applications that require a flexible cable with minimal size and weight.

Thin flexible Flat Flex cables are also used in medical, computer, and entertainment devices such as portable computers, cell phones, and digital cameras.

Ribbon Jumper Cables

Ribbon Jumper Cables are used in a variety of data, communication and control applications. They are basically flat ribbon cables with a variety of connectors at each end. They can be either symmetric (one connector on each end), or asymmetric (one connector on one end and different connector on the other end).

Ribbon Jumper Cables are essentially flat flex cables with wire conductors that are insulated in a thin, flexible jacket of insulation material. The ribbon is then bent and the conductors are connected circuitously and finally a connector is fastened at the end. One of the connectors is usually an edge card connector such as a Low Insertion Force (LIF).

The use of the ribbon jumper cables provides considerable space savings over round cable jumpers, especially when multiple conductors are needed. In addition, the flexibility of the ribbon jumpers and the low insertion force of the connectors allow easy installation and mating in confined spaces that round cables would not be able to reach.
