Ribbon Cable Components
20-way connectors and ribbon cable lengths for making up connections for either PTM-1 inputs or between an MTP-9 and OBM-2 / OBM-3 output modules.
Connectors are supplied individually (note: you may need 2 connectors per cable). The colours of the connectors supplied may vary according to stock availability and will typically be either black or grey. Connectors are priced at £ .40 each.
Cable lengths are supplied in multiples of 1m up to a maximum of 30m in a single length. To order a 2m length of cable, for example, add 1 cable to the order list and then set the quantity of that item in the order list to 2. If you order 2 lengths of cable as separate items with 1 as the quantity for each, you will receive 2 pieces of cable, each 1m long. The price of ribbon cable is £1.70 per metre.
Either a purpose-designed IDC assembly tool or a small bench vice will be needed to compress the connector parts together onto the cable in order to make up the termination. The cable can be cut with a sharp pair of scissors to whatever length(s) are required for your application.
