Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

Flexible (flat) cables, also known as ribbon cables or jumper cables, are a type of electrical wiring consisting of multiple insulated conductors fixed flat in parallel on an insulation carrier. Each conductor is insulated with polyethylene, polypropylene, or PVC material that is impervious to most solvents and oils. These cables are ideal for providing the flexibility, low weight, and high performance needed in a wide variety of wire harness applications.

Flat flex cables are designed to be flexible and allow bending and folding without breaking the electrical connection. This flexibility is achieved by making the cables from thin strips of insulated wire that are woven together and then coated with a plastic or rubber material. The strips can be straight, twisted, or curved in order to make the cable more flexible and able to bend and flex without breaking. The cable is then extruded with a plastic or rubber covering that provides insulation and strength.

Flat cables are designed to be used in a wide range of applications and typically feature a range of sizes and current ratings. A flat cable is usually made up of several insulated wires that are side-by-side and fixed together to form a single cable. Depending on the application, the individual wires may be arranged in a variety of ways in order to achieve the desired electrical performance. The individual wires are usually insulated with either polyethylene, vinyl, or Teflon.

Flat flex cables are used in a wide range of applications due to their flexibility, which allows them to be bundled, tightened, and attached to surfaces easily. Additionally, these cables are extremely lightweight and can be easily routed through tight spaces, which makes them ideal for a variety of applications where cost and weight are important factors.
