Ribbon Cable with High quality FRC connector 2.54mm IDC socket pin female connectors:

Ribbon cable (also known as multi-wire planar cable) is a cable with many conducting wires running parallel to each other on the same flat plane. As a result the cable is wide and flat. Its name comes from its resemblance to a piece of ribbon.

FRC Connector:

An insulation-displacement contact (IDC), also known as insulation-piercing contact (IPC). It is an electrical connector designed to be connected to the conductor(s) of an insulated cable by a connection process which forces a selectively sharpened blade or blades through the insulation, bypassing the need to strip the conductors of insulation before connecting. When properly made, the connector blade cold-welds to the conductor, making a theoretically reliable gas-tight connection.

Features:

• 1.27 mm Pitch 10/14/16/20/26 Pin 28 AWG Flat Ribbon Cable for IDC Socket 2.54mm Connector
• Tinned copper conductor
• Top-coated conductors are available
• Uniform wire thickness for easy stripping can cutting
• Vertical or horizontal flame test passed as per UL VW-1
• UL styles: UL2651

Color-coding

• To reduce the risk of reversed connections one edge of the cable is usually marked with a red stripe. By convention the edge with the stripe is connected to pin 1 on the connector. This method of identification is fine for cables that just consist of two or more IDC connectors with every connector connecting to every wire, but is somewhat less helpful when individual wires or small groups of wires must be terminated separately.
• To make it easier to identify individual conductors in a cable; ribbon-cable manufacturers introduced rainbow ribbon cable, which uses a repeating pattern of colors borrowed from the standard resistor color code (Brown is pin 1 or pin 11 or pin 21, etc. Red is pin 2 or pin 12 or pin 22, etc.). It is sometimes known affectionately to its users as “hippie cable” due to its distinct appearance.
