Belden Vari-Twist Cables are part of Allied Wire and Cable’s inventory of ribbon cable and Belden Flat Cable. Vari-Twist cables have a special construction in which pairs are twisted to minimize signal interference. Adjacent pairs are twisted in opposite directions to reduce crosstalk even further in the balanced mode. Vari-Twist cables also allow for quick and easy mass termination in the flat sections of the cable using standard IDC connectors.
Our inventory of Belden Flat Cable includes Vari-Twist cables in different constructions that meet different specifications. The 9V280XX Series Cable features stranded tinned copper conductors, PVC insulation, and PVC substrate. The 8V280XX Series Cable has a silver-plated copper conductor, FEP insulation, and FEP substrate. The FEP construction has a wider temperature range than its PVC counterpart. The FEP cable has a -70°C to 150°C temperature range, while the PVC cable has a range of -20°C to 105°C. However, the FEP ribbon cable has a lower voltage rating at 150V RMS, whereas the PVC planar cable’s rating is 300V RMS.
