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.

Want a flexible way to link computer peripherals to controller drives? Choose this ribbon cable from 3M. You get six 28 AWG wire strands spread over a cable width of 0.05 inches, so the cable's flat and handy for internal wiring as it saves space. The conductors themselves are tinned, stranded copper, so they combine superior flexibility with high conductivity, giving you quality connections in the long term. To make wiring jobs straightforward, red colour-coding on the first conductor helps you keep your eye on the ball.

• Unterminated cable ends give you free rein to pick your connector
• 30m length means there's plenty for longer runs

• Robotics systems
• Test and measurement devices
• Computer networking

This ribbon cable suits temperatures between -20°C and +105°C, so it's a safe bet for use in harsh environments.
