RS PRO Ribbon Cable Flat 1.27 mm Pitch 37 Conductor 5 m Length Model 289-9969

RS PRO 289-9969 Ribbon Cable is a high-quality flat cable designed for electrical and electronic applications that require reliable data transmission through multiple conductors arranged in parallel. This cable comprises 37 stranded tin copper wire conductors with a pitch of 1.27 mm laminated between grey polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film layers to form a flat ribbon. The stranded conductor design ensures flexibility while maintaining electrical integrity.

The cable is rated for 300V and can operate within temperatures ranging from -20°C to 105°C, making it suitable for a variety of industrial and commercial applications. Its grey PVC jacket provides mechanical protection and electrical insulation. The presence of a red stripe along one cable edge serves as an indicator for the first conductor, assisting in proper connector alignment and minimizing assembly errors.

RS PRO ribbon cables are compatible with insulation displacement connectors (IDCs) commonly used in wire-to-board connections. The cable’s layered laminate ensures precise spacing and alignment of conductors, which is critical to maintaining signal quality and connector fit. This flat cable design contributes to efficient space utilization in electronic assemblies and facilitates tidy wiring management.

Typical applications include interfacing internal peripherals in electronic systems, automation equipment, and control panels, where multiple data buses are required. The cable's compliance with CSA and UL standards further supports its use in regulated industrial environments.

The Ribbon Cable features grey PVC jacket material for durability. Conductors are composed of stranded tin copper wire with 7 strands per conductor. The cable operates between -20°C and a maximum of 105°C temperature. Suitable for use with insulation displacement connectors (IDCs) requiring precise conductor alignment.

The cable’s red stripe on one edge indicates the first conductor for proper orientation. Complies with CSA and UL standards for safety and reliability. Flexible flat cable design enables tidy wiring and easy routing in confined spaces.

Designed for electronic systems needing multiple parallel data buses for internal peripherals.

RS PRO products offer dependable solutions for electronics manufacturing, automation, laboratory instrumentation, and other industrial applications where robust and flexible cable management is essential.
