Flat cables allow for compact designs of electrical conductors and tubing, encasing power, signal, video, data and even pneumatic tubing in one flat profile. By eliminating the multiple layers of fillers, shielding and jacketing used in round cables, they offer reduced space and weight and extremely long lives.
Because of their flat design, flat cables are more flexible than their round counterparts, especially in high-flex applications such as robots, festoon and automated processing equipment. They are also suitable to military, aerospace, medical and clean room systems. This flexibility can be attributed to the fact that flat cables flex equally and in the same plane, reducing the twisting and stress put on round cables. Offering small bend radii, flat cables are able to fit into tight and compact spaces and are designed for up to tens of millions of cycles.
