Flat Flex Cables, narrower than ribbon cables, typically require more work in the assembly than a Ribbon Jumper Cable, but the benefits of a Flat Flex Cable over a Ribbon Jumper Cable make them worth the extra effort.

Flat Flex Cables, also known as Flexible Conductive Ribbons, are ribbon cables with flex-based interconnects. These cables are made of two layers of insulating material such as polyester, nylon, or polyimide, which are laminated to form a single flat cable. The outside of the cable is flat and can be easily bent and moved in three dimensions, while the inside is equipped with two conductive strips. The wires are often as thin as 0.2mm.

Flat Flex cables are designed to provide an easier, faster, and more reliable connection in a variety of applications. They can be used to replace traditional ribbon cables which can be time-consuming and difficult to splice together. They provide an advantage over traditional cables as they are more flexible and can bend around components and through tight spaces. They are also more robust and are less vulnerable to vibration, impacts, and atmospheric conditions.

The working principle of a Flat Flex Cable is relatively simple. The two layers of the Flat Flex Cable are constructed out of two conductive strips and one laminated insulating layer. When an electric current passes through the two conductive strips, a magnetic field is created which causes the two strips to bend towards each other. This bending of the two strips allows for flexible connections which can be bent and folded in various ways, depending on the application.

Flat Flex Cables are used in a wide variety of industries and applications. They are often used in electronic and communication equipment, computers, medical devices, industrial automation, military and aerospace applications, and other equipment. Flat flex cables are most commonly used to connect circuit boards, hard drives, circuitry, switches, lamps, and other components.

Flat Flex cables offer a great number of advantages over traditional ribbon cables. They are more flexible, allowing for bends or turns to be made without affecting the integrity of the connection. They are also more reliable, as the flexible nature of the Flat Flex cables makes them more resistant to vibration and shock damage. They are also lighter and more compact, making them easier to install in places with limited space. Additionally, these cables are more resistant to environmental factors such as water, dust, and humidity.

Compared to a Ribbon Jumper Cable, a Flat Flex Cable is more complicated to assemble and more time consuming to install. The flat Flex Cable is more delicate and must be handled and directed with a lot of care, avoiding pinching, creasing and stretching. The rigid nature of a Ribbon Jumper Cable, on the other hand, allows for a faster assembly, as it can be cut to the desired length and quickly connected with a screwdriver.

In conclusion, Flat Flex Cables are a great solution for many applications. They are more flexible, are reliable and provide an easier and faster connection. They are more resilient to environmental factors but require more care in the assembly. When compared to Ribbon Jumper Cables, they are more complicated and are a more time consuming solution, but the advantages they bring often make the extra effort worth it.
