Twist & Flat Speedbloc® IDC Ribbon Cables
For use with the Speedbloc® insulation displacement connectors.,Consists of stranded tinned copper conductors insulated with colour-coded PVC twisted into pairs and then laminated between layers of clear PVC film.,Common conductor for each pair is tan coloured. Twisted sections 457mm long (18 in) reform into 50mm (2 in) flat sections in which the conductors are laminated parallel on a 1.27mm pitch. Insulation displacement connectors can be terminated on the flat section, thereby combining the speed and cost-saving of mass termination with the electrical performance of twisted pairs demanded in high speed digital and data communication equipment.,Each conductor is formed from 7 strands 36 awg (0.13mm diameter) tinned annealed copper wire, 28 awg (0.08mm
