From 3M, the 3302 series of ribbon cable permits mass termination to a broad line of 3M IDC connectors. The stranded copper wire provides flexibility and extended product life.

The 3302 series of 10 colour repeat clear carrier colour coded ribbon cable, 28 awg wire on 0·05in. centres, permits mass termination to a broad line of 3M IDC connectors.
Stranded wire provides flexibility and extended product life.
Insulation resistance >x10⁹Ω/3m.

This cable is particularly suitable for a range of dedicated 3M IDC connectors. The following are typical of the range of 3M connectors: stock nos. 323-7845 and 121-0040.

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.

When you need a flexible and reliable connection, turn to this ribbon cable from 3M. The conductors are colour-coded for easy organisation and identification of your connections. It comes unterminated in a length of 30 metres, so you can use it whole or cut it down as needed. The stranded copper wires and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) jacket means the cable is pliable and durable, while the flat ribbon makes it easier to slot into narrow spaces. Use it inside electronics as well as for connecting moving equipment.

• Wide operating temperature range between -20°C and +105°C for use in extreme applications
• 14-way cable for mass termination of conductors with IDC (insulation-displacement contact) connectors
• Zippable cable for easy branching of connections and use in discrete wiring applications

• Robotics and industrial automation
• Testing and measuring equipment
• Electronics industry
• Computing and telecommunications

This ribbon cable is compatible with many 1.27mm IDC connectors to give you flexibility. It works with 3M connectors, such as the cable-mount socket (323-7845) and D-sub plug (121-0040).
