Engineered for demanding internal wiring environments, this UL1007 flat ribbon cable delivers exceptional flexibility and structural reliability for high-density electronic enclosures. The precision-extruded PVC jacket presents a smooth, pliable tactile feel, allowing the cable to navigate tight corners and complex chassis layouts without stressing the internal copper conductors. Designed with a distinct zippable profile, technicians can easily separate individual cores with a clean, predictable tear that leaves the primary insulation perfectly intact. This physical configuration is specifically optimized to match standard pitch dimensions, ensuring perfect alignment with mainstream IDC (Insulation Displacement Connectors). By maintaining strict dimensional tolerances, this multi-conductor solution eliminates alignment errors during mass termination, resulting in a firm, gas-tight connection every single time. Whether deployed in compact consumer electronics or expansive industrial control panels, the low-profile flat design significantly improves internal airflow while keeping complex wiring harnesses organized and easily identifiable.
Rated Voltage: 300V — Provides a stable and secure electrical transmission baseline, preventing voltage drops across longer internal routing paths and ensuring consistent power delivery to sensitive electronic components.
Rated Temperature: 80ºC — Formulated to withstand elevated thermal conditions within enclosed operational environments, preventing the insulation from becoming brittle or degrading over extended periods of continuous equipment operation.
Insulation Material: PVC — The specialized polyvinyl chloride compound offers a resilient yet highly flexible protective barrier. It effectively resists environmental abrasions while maintaining a soft, pliable texture that simplifies manual routing and installation.
Conductor: Tinned or Bare, Stranded or Solid Copper — Precision-drawn copper cores guarantee exceptional signal integrity. The exact conductor spacing controls impedance variations, ensuring reliable data transmission and efficient power distribution across the entire ribbon.
Reference Standard: UL758, UL1581, C22.2 No.210 — Manufactured strictly according to recognized international safety and performance standards, providing project engineers with total confidence in the component's long-term operational reliability.
Passes UL VW-1 & CSA FT1 vertical flame test — Undergoes rigorous combustion testing to verify its flame-retardant properties. In the event of an internal fault, the insulation is designed to self-extinguish rapidly, elevating the overall safety profile of the finished electronic device.
Uniform insulation thickness of wire to ensure easy stripping and cutting — The concentric extrusion process guarantees that the copper core remains perfectly centered. This uniformity prevents accidental blade contact with the conductor during automated or manual stripping, accelerating assembly times and reducing material waste.
For internal wiring of electronic and electrical equipment and appliance, computer, mainframe, lighting, electric circuit, etc. — A highly versatile interconnect solution widely utilized in medical diagnostic equipment, industrial automation control panels, advanced computing mainframes, and sophisticated consumer appliances requiring dense, organized wiring.

For highly customized OEM configurations requiring specialized tooling or unique PVC color matching, our project managers will provide a precise, transparent delivery schedule during the quotation phase.
To maximize the operational lifespan and signal integrity of the UL1007 flat ribbon cable, proper handling during assembly is essential. The flat, multi-conductor profile is engineered for exceptional flexibility, but installers should observe recommended bend radiuses to prevent undue mechanical stress on the internal copper strands, particularly in tight, 90-degree routing paths within dense electronic enclosures. When preparing the cable for termination, the uniform PVC insulation allows for clean, effortless stripping. If separating the cable into smaller branches, simply apply even pressure to utilize the zippable feature, which naturally guides the tear along the webbing without exposing the bare copper. This ensures that the physical and electrical barriers remain fully intact, safeguarding the equipment against potential short circuits and ensuring long-term stability.
