Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

Flat flex jumpers and ribbon jumper cables are available in various configurations, each designed to provide a specific type of wiring solution. The most common types are the single- or dual-wire jumper cables, as well as the flat ribbon jumper cables. In addition to the standard cable configurations, custom jumper cables can also be created.

Application Fields

Flat flex jumpers and ribbon jumper cables are typically used in a variety of consumer, industrial and commercial applications. They are commonly used in the aerospace and automotive industries, as well as a wide range of electronics and telecom systems. They are used for electrical connection and signal transfer purposes, including power and data connections. They can also be used to create custom cable assemblies for various industrial, commercial and consumer applications.

Working Principle

Flat flex jumper cables and ribbon jumper cables are used in a variety of ways. For instance, when used for electrical connections, the cables act as a bridge between two components. The flexible insulation of the cable allows it to make tight bends and turns, making it easier for the electric current to pass through. The flexibility also makes it easier to route the cable along tight spaces, such as in vehicle engines, tight electrical systems and in other hard-to-reach areas.

For signal transfer purposes, ribbon jumper cables are ideal as they can carry a higher current capacity than standard cables. The cables can also provide a better signal to noise ratio, allowing for better signal clarity and preventing interference. The flat ribbon shape also makes the cables easier to route through various tight locations.

Additionally, custom cables assemblies can be created using flat flexible jumpers and ribbon jumper cables. By altering the length, type (solid or stranded wire) and type of insulation on the cables, custom jumper cables can be created for specific applications. This is often used in applications where specific signal types and frequency ranges need to be achieved.
