Flatcable ShiverPeaks 79020-10 20-polig grijs 10 m

The ShiverPeaks Ribbon Cable 20-pin, 10 m in grey is a flat multi-wire cable designed for parallel signal and low-voltage power connections in electronic assemblies. With a 20-conductor configuration and a continuous 10-metre length, this ribbon cable is intended for tidy routing and consistent electrical contact across connectors and headers in control panels, instrumentation, and internal device wiring.

Advantages

This ribbon cable provides a compact, space-saving profile that simplifies cable management in tight enclosures. The fixed conductor spacing and parallel layout support reliable multi-channel signal transmission and predictable impedance for short-run data or control lines. The grey outer insulation offers a neutral appearance that integrates into industrial and consumer equipment while the continuous length reduces the need for splicing when wiring multiple connection points.

Suitable for

• Internal wiring of industrial control cabinets and PLCs
• Interconnections between PCB headers and daughter boards
• Signal and low-voltage power routing in instrumentation and test equipment
• Prototyping and harnessing in electronics workshops

Key specifications

• Number of conductors: 20
• Length: 10 metres
• Color: grey
• Cable type: flat ribbon (parallel conductors)
• Typical conductor insulation: PVC (standard for ribbon cable applications)
• Conductor arrangement: fixed pitch suitable for IDC or soldered header connections

How to use

Cut the ribbon cable to the required length and, if needed, separate individual conductors by scoring the insulation or using a precision cutter. For reliable connections to board headers, use an appropriate insulation displacement connector (IDC) sized for 20 conductors or terminate conductors to a compatible 20-pin connector. Ensure correct pin alignment and verify continuity before powering the circuit. When routing the cable, avoid tight bends and high-tension paths to prevent conductor damage.

Recommendations

For best results, select connectors and strain reliefs that match the ribbon cable width and conductor pitch. Keep cable runs short where possible for high-speed signals, and maintain separation from high-voltage or noisy power lines to reduce interference.
