Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

0210490728 is a type of flat flex, ribbon jumper cables with applications in a wide variety of fields. The cable stretches to a length of between 5m and 15m, and is one of the most reliable types of cabling currently in use. Flat flex, ribbon jumper cables are widely used in the telecommunications, computing, automotive, medical, and consumer electronics fields. Due to their frequent usage for short-distance connections, they are often referred to as “jumper cables”.

Working Principle

Flat flex jumper cables are made up of two halves: the ribbon portion and the tail portion. The ribbon portion consists of a flat flex conductor that is coated in a thin dielectric material, such as polyvinyl chloride (PVC). The tail portion is usually a thicker type of conductive material, such as anodized aluminum, and is ribbed or insulated with a polyurethane coating. The tail portion and the ribbon portion are attached to each other by a wire interconnect, soldered and crimped onto the tail portion.

The tail portion of the cable also contains individual connections to the wires inside the ribbon portion (also known as wire cores) for the electrical connection of the wires in the ribbon portion. The individual connections are made of two jumper cables, one straight-pinned cable and one twisted-pinned cable. The straight-pinned cable is inserted in the anodized wire cores of the ribbon portion, while the twisted-pinned cable is connected to the other end of the ribbon.

Once connected, the two jumper cables work together to transmit electrical signals between the two components connected to the jumper cables. The electrical signals are transmitted through the insulated and tin-plated parts of the cable and are then distributed to the rope according to the order of the individual connections on the jumper cables. The electrical signals are then sent back through the twists in the wires in the ribbon.

The length of the flat flex, ribbon jumper cable can be adjusted by simply adding or removing wires from the core of the cable. This allows the cable to reach virtually any length desired, and it also ensures that the cable is able to stay flexible and move with any connection. The designers of the cable also have the ability to arrange the individual connections within the cable to ensure that the electrical signals are routed through the rope in the correct manner.

Applications

Flat flex, ribbon jumper cables are used in a variety of industries, most notably in telecommunications, computing, automotive, medical, and consumer electronics. Flat flex cables are commonly used to connect digital systems, such as a computer motherboard to a control panel in the automotive industry. They are also commonly used for connections in home media systems, such as cable or satellite TV, and in various industrial control systems.

In addition, flat flex cables are used to connect devices such as computers and digital cameras to each other, as well as between computers and communication systems. The versatility of flat flex cables allows for easy installation in tight spaces, making them an ideal option for hard to reach applications. In the medical field, flat flex cables are also used for certain medical imaging equipment and to connect medical instruments to MRI scanners.
