Description
Rainbow Color Flat Cable
Rainbow Color Flat Cable gets its name from the way it looks. It is composed of a lot of conducting wires lined up side by side, to create flat, wide cabling, which resembles a ribbon. It is also known as flat cable or multi-planar cable.
Why use the ribbon cables?
Ribbon cables are often used when space is a factor. They lay flat and take up very little room. Because they are flat, they can run beneath carpeting, which is very convenient. They can also be mass terminated easily. If you have less space then this product is very much ideal for you. The most beneficial characteristic of a ribbon cable is that it is flat and flexible. The flexibility is extremely useful and allows a ribbon cable to be easily routed in confined spaces or in applications where there is limited space to connect two components together. To make installation easier, to align the cable conductors to certain pins on the connector, and to reduce the risk of reversed connections, the ribbon cable is typically color-coded.
Applications:
- Data transmission and communications.
- Computer cable applications.
- Internal wiring.
- Robotics.
- DIY projects.
- Test and measuring equipment.
- Automated termination equipment.
- Pick and place equipment as well.
Disadvantages:
This type of cable does not allow for sideways flexing, so it may only be used in straight-run applications.
Color code:
The colors of the rainbow ribbon cable are used to make conductor identification easier. The cables follow the standard color code of brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, gray, white, and black.
