Flat Flex

Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables are a structured cabling component used to interconnect components in a network. These flat flex cables are commonly found in data centers, computer networks, communications systems, and more. They are used to bridge the gap between various components and provide for a stable signal transmission

Features

• Eliminates the need for wire wrap style connections.
• Provides low profile and high density connection options.
• Lockable connection will not vibrate or move.
• Provides a highly reliable connector when compared to solder connections.

Application Fields

Flat flex jumper cables are used in a variety of applications within network and data communications systems. They are used to interconnect server panels, patch panels and remote devices. They can also be used in applications that require a high degree of bending and twist, such as CAT5E patching, VOIP networking, and structured cabling. They are used in applications where the cables are subject to frequent movement such as in rotating arms and monitoring equipment. They can also be used as a steadying repetitive signal transfer, such as in telecommunications connections or in medical imaging.

Working Principle

Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables use a locking connector system to provide a secure connection. These systems allow for stable connections that are not affected by external forces, such as vibrations, shocks or temperature changes. The locking connector system consists of two parts, a female connector and a male connector. The female connector has pin connections which are inserted into the male connector. The male connector has slots which accept the pins of the female connector. Once the connection is made, the male connector has a spring-loaded cover which securely holds the female connector in place.

The flat flex or ribbon jumper cable creates a solid connection through its use of the male and female connectors. These connectors interlock in such a way that the pins actually pass into the slots and once in place, are held securely in both connectors. The connectors also contain conductive contacts which make electrical contact with each other. Because each connection point is individually electrically connected, the flat flex cable is able to transfer signals faster and more reliably than some other types of cables.

Conclusion

Flat flex and ribbon jumper cables are an essential component of data and network communications systems. They provide a secure and reliable connection that is suited to applications where connection stability is important. Furthermore, they are highly durable and can withstand the daily rigors of data center operations. With their ability to drastically improve system reliability, it is clear why these connectors are so popular.
