Rectangular Cable Assemblies

A rectangular cable assembly is a type of electric wire harness that is composed of individually insulated cables and wires housed in a single protective sheath. This multi-conductor assembly is formed into a rectangular shape, typically using a tightly braided nylon lace for mechanical strength and strain relief. Rectangular cable assemblies are commonly used to extend electrical connections between multifunctional devices, and are generally used as a wiring solution for larger electronic systems.The main purpose of a rectangular cable assembly is to provide reliable electrical connections between two or more components that are typically far away from each other. Assemblies are designed to connect different instruments together in the same cabinet or from one cabinet to another, and may include turning a corner or going through a wall. The rectangular shape helps to keep cables organized and reduces the risk of the cables becoming tangled or disorganized.The standard designation for a rectangular cable assembly is FFMD-10-T-03.80-01-N-R. FFMD stands for “Flat Multi-Cable Assembly” and -10 designates the number of cables within the assembly. The T stands for “Twisted” which helps with the tangle free nature of these cables and the -03.80-01 designates the mechanical properties such as the length of the cable, the wall thickness, number of layers, etc. N-R designates the type of outer sheathing. In general, N and R refer to nylon and rubber depending on the type of protection needed.The rectangular cable assembly gets its basic form by bunching of the individual cables together with a hand tool or mechanical means for convenience. The individual cables are usually pre-cut to length, have pre-crimped terminals, or are colored and coded in a variety of ways with different colors representing different circuits. Additionally, the cables are grouped and looped around plastic cable ties, which help relieve strain and contribute to the tangle free environment.The cables are typically carefully placed inside a protective outer sheath, which is designed to protect them from environmental extremes such as electro-magnetic interference, dust and water. Common materials used for the sheathing are thermoplastic, neoprene, PVC and polyethylene which come in a variety of thicknesses and colors.Each end of the rectangular cable assembly contains an exit box, which is a housing that keeps the individual cables organized while providing strain relief. The exit boxes can be customized with a variety of options such as exit port labeling, mounting feet and mountings plates. The exit boxes are also equipped with sealing sleeves, which help protect the electrical connections from elements such as dust, water and humidity.It is important to note that the rectangular cable assembly is designed for certain applications, and is most suitable for connecting different multi-function devices, and for connecting different components within the same cabinet. Assemblies are not typically used to connect devices to a wall outlet, as they do not possess the strength needed to handle the full load needed by a wall outlet. Assemblies also should not be used to make permanent connections with solder, as the constant flexing of the cables could cause the solder to become brittle and break over time.Rectangular cable assemblies are an important component in many areas of engineering, especially in the fields of robotics, audio-visual, telecommunication, and industrial controls. They are a reliable and secure option for connecting multiple devices and components, and can be customized to fit a variety of configurations. Maintaining a rectangular cable assembly is relatively easy, as the nylon lacing helps keeps the cables organized and the protective sheathing helps protect it from most environmental conditions. If the assembly ever needs to be replaced, the exit boxes can be safely opened without compromising the connection points and the individual cables can be tested and replaced if needed. This makes them an ideal solution for many environments where a secure and reliable electrical connection is needed.
