From USB ports to video cards, your computer peripherals can be joined in a jiffy using this ribbon cable from 3M. Its 20 conductors are arranged in twisted pairs to boost flexibility and reduce electronic crosstalk. Each pair has a flat section at the end to make installation a snap. This versatile cable is suitable for mass termination to compatible 3M IDC connectors. A 30m length gives you scope for long runs or lots of short-range jobs.

• PVC insulation protects wires and supports a long service life
• Operating temperature range between -20°C and +105°C means it performs in demanding conditions
• Standard 28AWG wires are widely compatible with commonly used electronic kit

• Hard drive upgrades
• Small appliance installation
• Computer engineering

The wires in this cable are colour-coded in repeating sets of 10 for easy identification during installation and maintenance.

Ribbon cables provide a simple, quick and cost-effective solution to mass termination. They also have space and weight saving advantages over other wiring methods and are ideal for use on computers, peripherals, and interface units, audio and digital equipment. Colour coded ribbon cable with alternate twisted pair and parallel conductor sections. Twisting of adjacent conductors reduces crosstalk whilst the flat sections at regular intervals still facilitate easy termination.
