Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables
0982680729 application field and working principle
Flexible jumper cables, also known as flat flex cables or ribbon jumpers, are used in a wide range of applications, particularly in data and signal transmission areas. They are made of insulated wiring connected via flat or flexible plastic sheeting, usually in a variety of styles and sizes. It is important to determine the right type of jumpers for an application in order to ensure a successful transmission.
These jumper cables are typically available in several standard sizes and colors. The size of the cable depends on the number of conductors on the inside and commonly ranges from 2 to 12 conductors. The insulation on the wiring within the flexible jumpers varies depending on the application, and includes various types of insulation such as PVC, neoprene, and Urethane. Additionally, cross-wired or parallel wired cables are available to provide greater flexibility.
Uses of Flexible Jumper Cables
Flexible jumper cables are used in a wide variety of applications, including data and signal transmission and high-speed communications. Common applications include:
    
Computers and associated peripherals
    
Fiber-optic and copper-based networks
    
Testing equipment
    
Telecom systems
    
Automatic test equipment (ATE)
    
Medical equipment
    
Military and satellite systems
    
Industrial automation equipment
    
Power supplies
Flexible jumper cables are typically designed for high-speed communication applications, and are generally preferred over conventional cables in many applications due to the flexibility they provide. Conventional cables usually require soldering and have a limited range of bend radii, making them difficult to use in specific applications, while flexible jumper cables can be connected through onsite terminal blocks and with an array of configuration options.
Working Principle of Flexible Jumpers
Flexible jumper cables are made of the same copper or fiber optic cables used in any other cable assembly. The assembly of these cables is done in a different way than for conventional cables, however. The most common type of flexible jumper cables has an inside wire insulated with a lamination sheet that is connected between the terminals and insulated from the surrounding environment. The connection is usually done via a connector, such as an RJ45 or SC connector, which provides a secure connection and prevents possible electrical interference. Additionally, these cables can also be secured with a self-adhesive tape for a simple and secure connection.
These flexible jumper cables are typically designed to support high-speed communications, such as Ethernet or Fibre Channel. The insulated lamination sheet within the flexible jumper cables helps to reduce the risk of interference, while also providing protection from environmental conditions. Additionally, the flexible nature of the cables allows for simple connection between two different terminals, making them ideal for short- to mid-length cable runs.
Conclusion
Flexible jumper cables are a versatile and useful component for many data and signal transmission applications. They are typically constructed of insulated cord and a lamination sheet, and secured with a connector such as an RJ45 or SC connector. They can also be secured with a simple and secure adhesive tape. The flexible nature of the cables allows for an array of configuration options, and offers a greater degree of durability for short to mid-length cable runs.
