Flat Ribbon Cables

Flat ribbon cable is common in a range of everyday applications, including computers and disk drives. Also known as multiplanar cable, flat ribbon cable is used in electronic systems where more than one data bus needs to be linked to an internal peripheral. Flat ribbon cable is named thanks to its appearance- small cables are placed parallel to form a wide cable which resembles a piece of ribbon. These come in a range of colours to allow for colour coding inside devices such as disk drives.
