Ribbon Wire

Ribbon Wire

Ribbon Wires, also known as flat cables or IDC cables, are multi-conductor cables arranged in a flat, parallel configuration. Their unique flat ribbon profile makes them ideal for compact, space-efficient wiring in electronic equipment, data transmission, and internal circuit connections where organised cabling is essential.

 

Alcop’s Ribbon Wires are manufactured with precision-stranded conductors, colour-coded or grey PVC insulation, and consistent conductor spacing for reliable IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) termination. These cables are widely used in computers, printers, industrial automation, and consumer electronics, delivering stable electrical performance and ease of assembly.
