What Types of Ribbon Cable Assemblies do We Offer

Definition: Ribbon Cable Assemblies are a type of multi-conductor cable characterized by flat, parallel wires (conductors) that run side by side, typically in a ribbon-like formation. Ribbon cables typically use a range of connectors, including IDC (Insulation Displacement Connectors), which allow for easy and reliable connection without the need for stripping the insulation from individual wires. Other common connectors used with ribbon cables include Molex connectors, D-sub connectors, and custom-made connectors depending on the specific application.

Standard-Grey-IDC-Connectors-Flat-Ribbon-Cable-Manufacturer

Flat Ribbon IDC Cable

Standard Grey Flat Ribbon Cable

A cost effective standard grey ribbon cable with red identification stripe, and widely used type, consisting of multiple parallel conductors, typically AWG 28 or 26, suitable for data and signal transmission in low-voltage applications, including AMP 971111 and 57040 Series etc.

Colour-coded-Cable-IDC-Connectors-Flat-Ribbon-Cable-Manufacturer

Flat Ribbon IDC Cable

Color-Coded Flat Ribbon Cable

Colour coded cable, particularly suited for splitting into discrete wires or for improved conductor identification. Supersedes the original Ansley 201 series.

Twisted-Pair-Flat-Ribbon-Cable-IDC-Connectors-Cable-Assembly-Manufacturer

Flat Ribbon IDC Cable

Twisted Pair Ribbon Cable

Pairs of wires are twisted within the ribbon to reduce crosstalk and improve signal quality, ideal for high-frequency data transmission. Alternate twisted pair and bonded flat cable sections offer the benefit of improved crosstalk reduction when compared with standard flat cables.

Flat Ribbon IDC Cable

Shielded Ribbon Cable

Includes an additional shielding layer around the ribbon to protect against electromagnetic interference (EMI), suitable for noisy environments.

IDC Cable Solutions

Discrete Wire IDC Cable

Consists of individually insulated wires, typically arranged in parallel, for custom configurations where flat ribbon isn’t suitable. Often used in applications requiring more robust, flexible wires, such as automotive or industrial equipment.

Flexible-Printed-Circuit-Polyimide-Connecter-FPC-Cable

IDC Cable Solutions

Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) Cable

FPCs are usually made of a single or multiple layers of polyimide or polyester film with conductive copper traces laminated onto it. Circuits are etched or printed directly onto the flexible substrate, allowing for more complex circuitry with precise patterns. They can incorporate components like resistors, capacitors, and connectors directly on the circuit, making them highly customizable. FPCs can be designed in complex shapes and folded to fit into tight spaces, often used in more intricate and space-limited assemblies.

IDC Cable Solutions

Flat-Flex-Flexible(FFC) Cable

FFCs consist of flat, parallel conductive strips (usually copper) laminated between two layers of insulation, typically polyester. These cables are simpler in design, with straight, parallel conductors arranged in a single layer, making them less customizable in shape compared to FPCs. They are highly flexible along one axis, making them ideal for applications that need simple, repetitive bending.
