Ribbon Cable

Use For: Automation, Data, Panel and Equipment (Hook-Up)
Ultra Flexible
Temperature Range: 0° to 175° F
Insulation: PVC Plastic

Often used in electronic prototyping or in the interior of computers, this flat cable is ultra flexible with small-gauge wires so it fits in tight spaces. Unlike standard flat control cable, the wires are bonded together without an overall insulation, so they can be easily separated for installation. Cable is flame rated VW-1 to meet requirements for preventing the spread of flames based on a timed test with vertically suspended material.

ix Industrial Cords

Securely connect equipment in data or signal applications. These cords have A- or B-coded plugs to meet the needs of your device. Because they have smaller connectors than standard cords, you can connect them to smaller equipment and snake them through tighter spaces. You can even use them to create multiple connection points in a compact area. These cords have a metal locking tab that secures the connectors to sockets and is less likely to break than plastic ones if yanked or bumped. All of these cords are shielded to block interference from nearby equipment. They will connect with any ix industrial sockets that meet IEC 61076-3-124. They also meet UL data transmission standards and Canadian electrical standards.

A- and B-coded plugs are not compatible with each other.

Choose cords with B-coded plugs for signal applications, such as linking a servomotor and encoder. You can also use them as an alternative to cords with D-sub connectors.
