FFSD-08-D-12.80-01-N-R

Rectangular Cable Assemblies

Rectangular cable assemblies are predominantly used in applications that have limited space but require robust, reliable, high-speed data transmission. Typically found in military and aerospace, medical and laboratory, radio frequency, and industrial settings, these cables are designed to provide simultaneous transmission of multiple signals while addressing display problems, like crosstalk. To further improve the performance of these cables, suppliers employ extra-flexible jackets and custom shielding.

A standard rectangular cable assembly, like the FFSD-08-D-12.80-01-N-R, contains two or more miniature, flat, rigid printed circuit boards, which are used to transmit data. These boards are sandwich-style arranged between two insulation dielectrics that provide additional protection against radio frequency interference (RFI). The assembly also includes a housing made of aluminum or stainless steel, which, together with the connectors, form an effective hermetic seal against dust, oil, moisture, and other environmental elements.

FFSD-08-D-12.80-01-N-R Application Field and Working Principle

The FFSD-08-D-12.80-01-N-R is a rectangular cable assembly used primarily for commercial, industrial, and military applications. It is designed to provide a reliable, high-speed data transmission for multiple signals simultaneously without compromising signal integrity. This particular assembly utilizes a shielding design to further protect the board\'s dielectric insulation and ensure minimum crosstalk between traces that carry the respective signals.

Its fabricated flat board technology with two segregated layers of shielding construction provides superior internal shielding versus conventional rectangular cables. As a result, conductors located within the FFSD-08-D-12.80-01-N-R offer an improved level of isolation from external EMI sources, including EMI from other conductors that may be operating within the same system. This assembly can be relied on to provide a reliable, low-cost connection over long runs between system components while maintaining signal integrity.

FFSD-08-D-12.80-01-N-R assemblies are natural fits in military and aerospace building systems, making them suitable for applications such as durovacuum brazing and vacuum testing as well as in environmental suites for aircraft and other large fleets. These cables can also find use in nuclear reactor control systems, motor controllers, diesel engines, unmanned robotic vehicles, and even medical equipment, where small size, reliability, fleximechanical stability, and budget matter.

The FFSD-08-D-12.80-01-N-R\'s robust construction ensures that the assembly can perform a variety of tasks in extreme environments while having a typical operating temperature range of -65°F to +250°F (-54°C to + 121°C). Additionally, the assembly is resistant to wear and possesses superior fleximarkinetic durability, making it an ideal choice for many other applications in which reliability and strength are paramount.
