55A1161-18-0/2/5/7/8/9-4, also known as Flat Flexible Data Link Cables (FPDLC), is a type of multiple conductor cable used in a wide variety of industrial and consumer applications. This cable was designed to make connections between components, devices and systems in order to transfer data. It consists of several insulated multi-stranded flat wires that are arranged in a parallel pattern, and its polymeric insulation prevents the wires from corroding or shorting out without sacrificing flexibility.

FPDLC cables are used in a wide variety of industrial and consumer electronic applications, including computers, communications equipment, home appliances, peripherals, and digital audio equipment. They are also great for automation projects, robotics and low power applications. They are available in several colors and have different contact counts and sizes depending on the application.

The working principle of the FPDLC is based on the fact that electric current flows through metal conductors. This type of cable consists of a flat plastic sheet with metal conductors embedded on one side. The flat plastic sheet is then laminated onto the copper-clad laminate which serves as a medium for data transmission. The electric current produced by the embedded conductors flows along the outer surface of the sheet to the other side.

FPDLC cables are very popular for their flexibility and durability, as they can be bent or twisted into almost any shape and can be used in tight spaces. Additionally, their slim design minimizes clutter and improves airflow. They are also highly resistant to corrosion and are often used in environments susceptible to moisture and humidity.

FPDLC cables are designed with high-quality insulation, which makes them much safer than single-conductor cables. The insulation is thicker than most wires, which reduces the risk of electric shock. Additionally, the insulation reduces electromagnetic interference, ensuring data integrity.

Overall, 55A1161-18-0/2/5/7/8/9-4 flat flexible data link cables are a great choice for many industries and applications. They are more flexible and durable than most other types of cables, provide protection against electric shock and electromagnetic interference, and are designed to survive in moisture-prone or industrial environments.
