Looking for a trusty go-between to link electronic components in tight spaces? Go for this ribbon cable from Molex. It has 16 highly conductive wires on a thin and very flexible substrate. These carry signals efficiently to linked parts of your circuit board to deliver both power and communication. Gold conductor plating boosts the cable's electrical performance and makes it resistant to rust, so you can be sure of long-term performance.

• Short length of 152mm for a clutter-free installation
• Mating with FFC connectors (such as 144-8158) is simple and doesn't need complex tools, saving time and hassle

• Security and surveillance equipment
• Telecommunications industry
• Automation and robotics systems

Set-up is simple – first open the FFC/FPC connector. Next, push in the cable, applying even pressure along its sides until it's correctly seated. Finally, lock the adapter and test the connection.
