From 3M, the 3365 series of grey ribbon cable, 28 awg wire on 0.05in. centres, permits mass termination to a broad line of 3M IDC connectors. The 7x36 tinned stranded copper wire provides flexibility and extended product life. First conductor is identified by a red leading edge.

• Insulation resistance >1x10¹⁰ Ω/3m
• Suitable for mass termination
• Highly flexible

Ribbon cabling is frequently used in computing and in communication applications. They are often used internally in electronic appliances, and are often used in hard drive wiring. Although they are limited to straight-run installations, they have advantages in that they can provide space efficient solutions to high data transmission. Ribbon cabling is often used in;

• Test and Measure
• Computing
• Robotics

3M is a trusted name in connector and wiring solutions, providing high quality cables, connectors and accessories. From industrial computing to domestic applications, 3M provides the reliable and versatile product range you need.

These cables are not to be regarded as power cables or cables for the direct connection of equipment to mains power supplies.

Searching for a reliable way to link up your electronic system? Tie it all together with this ribbon cable from 3M. Its space-saving flat shape makes it ideal for connecting internal peripherals like hard drives, video cards and USB ports. The ultra-thin ribbon cable is made up of 20 seven-stranded conductors, each positioned side by side and with a 1.27mm pitch. Installation is fuss-free, as the flexible design is suitable for mass termination to a broad line of 3M IDC connectors.

• Colour-coded leading edges make it easy to identify the first conductor for faster termination
• Broad operating temperature range between -20°C and +105°C means it performs in demanding conditions
• Characteristic impedance of 172Ω ensures reliable data transmission

• Consumer electronics
• Robotics engineering
• Hard drive wiring

The wires are a standard 28AWG size, making them widely compatible with standard electronic components.
