Flat Flex, Ribbon Jumper Cables

686706200001 is a product that could be classified as flat flex, ribbon jumper cables. These cables can be used for a wide range of applications in the electrical and electronics industries. Flat flex cables are usually flexible, lightweight, and have two or more flat conductor ribbons that are connected with a thin insulation material. Ribbon cables are referred to as flat flex cables because their conductors are arranged in flat flexible cables and are usually identified as standard ribbon jumpers. They are typically used in a wide range of industrial applications, such as automobile manufacturing, robotics, aviation, aerospace, white goods, medical equipment, and computer equipment. Compared to traditional wound wire cables, flat flex cables offer several advantages over conventional wire conductors, including weight, space savings, better signal clarity, higher frequency capabilities, and reduced radiation.

Application Fields

Flat flex, ribbon jumper cables are used in a wide range of applications. In the automotive industry, they are used as ground and flex cables. These cables are also used in industrial automation, robotics, medical and scientific equipment, as well as consumer products such as home appliances. Additionally, flat flex cables are used in high-speed data transmission and communication systems, including computer networks, satellite communication systems, and cell phone systems. Furthermore, flat flex cables are used in high-speed data transmission applications, such as gigabit Ethernet, Serial ATA, and fiber optics. Additionally, flat flex cables are used in home theater systems, audio-visual systems, and other multimedia systems.

Working Principle

Flat flex, ribbon jumper cables are constructed of multiple conductor ribbons that are interleaved to form a flat cable. These ribbons are thin and flat, and are generally made of copper or aluminum. They are connected together with a thin insulation material that is sometimes sensitive to mechanical shock and vibration. The flat cables are highly flexible due to the thin nature of the ribbons and the interleaving of the conductors.

The flat flex cable is typically terminated with an appropriate connector that secures the cable to the application. Once connected, the flat flex cable transmits electricity to the desired location efficiently and safely. The flat cable is also designed to reduce signal loss, minimize interference, and maximize transmission speed.
