Product Selling Points
1. 1.27mm Pitch Ribbon Cable – 4 to 80 Conductors, Your Choice
Available with 4 up to 80 conductors (custom counts also possible). The 1.27mm (0.050 inch) pitch matches standard IDC connectors, making it a drop-in fit for board-to-board or board-to-peripheral wiring. No guesswork, no adapter hunting.
2. Stranded or Solid Conductors – Match Your Flex Needs
Choose stranded copper for applications that see constant movement (cable chains, service loops) or solid for one-time-install cost savings. Conductor sizes from 26 AWG down to 30 AWG. Bare copper standard; other materials on request.
3. Color-Coded or Solid Jackets – Grey, Rainbow, Black, White
Standard grey works for most internal wiring. Need to trace signals quickly? Rainbow color-coded jackets save hours of continuity testing. Black and white also available. PVC or TPE insulation, depending on your flexibility and temperature targets.
4. 150V–300V Rating, 0.5A–1.0A per Conductor – Clean Signal or Low Power
Each conductor handles 0.5A to 1.0A, with voltage ratings from 150V to 300V. Well suited for signal-level interconnects (IDE, SCSI, proprietary buses) or low-current power distribution. ROHS compliant for global markets.

Applications
Mass-Terminated Flat Cable Solutions for Electronics Interconnection
- Internal Computer & Server Wiring: Used for IDE/ATA hard drive cables, floppy drive cables, and internal peripheral connections in desktop computers, servers, and workstations where high-density parallel data transfer is required.
- Industrial Control Systems: Deployed in PLCS, motor controllers, and automation equipment for connecting I/O modules, sensor interfaces, and control panels with reliable, mass-terminated wiring solutions.
- Telecommunications Equipment: Used in switches, routers, and base station equipment for backplane connections, line card interfaces, and internal signal distribution where consistent impedance and signal integrity are critical.
- Test & Measurement Instruments: Implemented in oscilloscopes, data loggers, and automated test equipment for connecting front panel controls, display interfaces, and internal modules with repeatable, reliable connections.
- Medical Devices: Integrated into patient monitoring systems, diagnostic equipment, and laboratory analyzers requiring compact, reliable internal wiring with color-coded identification for serviceability.
- Consumer Electronics: Used in printers, scanners, gaming consoles, and home entertainment systems for connecting control panels, display modules, and internal peripherals with cost-effective flat cable solutions.
- Daisy-Chain Configurations: Deployed in modular systems where multiple connectors share a single ribbon cable, reducing wiring complexity and simplifying assembly in rack-mounted equipment.
- Prototyping & Development: Used in breadboard connections, prototype fixtures, and development boards for quick, reliable signal routing during design and testing phases.

Star Reviews From Customers
1.Mike, test engineer in California
"Test fixtures need reliable connections. This 26 AWG version handles the current for our power signals. Rainbow color coding makes troubleshooting easy. Good stuff."
2.Priya, medical device manufacturer in Bangalore
"Patient monitors use this cable for internal connections. The 1.27mm pitch gives us the density we need. Gray jacket looks clean, terminates well. Zero field failures."
3.Tom, computer repair tech in Chicago
"Old IDE hard drive cables are getting hard to find. This ribbon cable with 40-pin IDC connectors works as a replacement. Good quality, same as original spec."
4.Lisa, lab equipment service in Canada
"Oscilloscope front panel needed new ribbon cable. Used this 16-conductor version with IDC connectors. Fit perfectly, works great. Easy repair."
5.Raj, automation engineer in India
"Factory machine used custom daisy-chain wiring. This ribbon cable with 10 IDC connectors per cable simplified the design. Reduced assembly time by 60%."
