Frequently Asked Questions

What’s the difference between shielded and unshielded flat ribbon cables?

Shielded flat ribbon cables offer a protective layer against electromagnetic interference (EMI), making them ideal for high-interference environments like aerospace, medical devices, and industrial automation. These cables ensure signal integrity, reduce crosstalk, and are suitable for data-heavy systems.

In contrast, unshielded flat ribbon cables are better for low-EMI environments such as consumer electronics and automobiles, where space-saving and flexible routing are the key priorities.

Can flat ribbon cables help reduce wiring clutter in my system?

Flat cables are designed for efficient cable management. Their flat plane construction makes them more easily routed and stacked than round cables, improving air flow and organizing systems even in tight spaces. A ribbon cable assembly also reduces the need for individual wires, offering more space than traditional round cable.

Are Proterial Cable America’s flat ribbon cables durable enough for harsh environments?

Absolutely. These cables are manufactured with tinned copper for corrosion resistance. They are designed to withstand high temperatures (up to 105°C), making them ideal for industries like aerospace and robotics, where reliability is critical.

Does Proterial Cable America’s flat cable meet environmental and safety standards?

Yes, all of our flat ribbon cables comply with industry standards like UL 2651 and RoHS, making them safe for use in environments with strict regulations, including aerospace and in medical devices. These cables are designed to operate safely even in harsh conditions.

Which applications are best suited for unshielded versus shielded flat ribbon cables?

Unshielded

Consumer Electronics: Perfect for use inside computers, printers, and home electronics where signal integrity and space are critical, as they are often easily routed through confined spaces.
Industrial Automation: Organize complex wiring within control systems, reducing clutter and ensuring efficiency.
Automotive Electronics: Space-saving and flexible, ideal for tight control modules and in-vehicle systems.

Shielded

Aerospace & Avionics: EMI shielding ensures data integrity in communication systems and control units.
Medical Devices: Maintain critical signal accuracy in sensitive equipment, where precision can be a matter of life or death.
Robotics & Automation: With shielding that prevents crosstalk, these cables perfectly fit complex, data-heavy systems where multiple cables run in parallel.
