There are many benefits to working with Belden flat cable, including reliability, flexibility, strength and easy handling. Because Belden ribbon cable is so flat and thin, it is often lighter weight and less bulky than round cable options. Ribbon cable also provides consistent electrical performance and greater current carrying capacity than round cable alternatives.

Another benefit of Belden flat cable is that it can be layered for better high-density interconnection applications. Belden ribbon cable is easily terminated as conductors are grouped and may be handled as a unit instead of working with multiple individual conductors. Finally, skewing effects are reduced because the consistency of ribbon cable’s construction and electrical characteristics minimizes time delays between signals transmitted within the cable.

We supply Belden flat cable in gray and rainbow variations. We also carry Vari-Twist cables, shielded and jacketed flat cables, and shielded and jacketed Vari-Twist cables.
