Amphenol Spectra-Strip Twist 'N' Flat cable combines the time and cost savings of mass termination with the electrical performance of twisted pairs, making it ideal for high speed computers and communications equipment. Labor savings of up to 95% as compared to automatic strip and crimp termination are readily achieved.

Twist 'N' Flat cable consists of stranded round conductors insulated with color coded PVC twisted into pairs and laminated between layers of PVC film to form a planar cable. The twist in adjacent pairs is reversed to reduce cable crosstalk even further. Standard cables alternate 18 in. (45.7 cm) long twisted pair sections with 2 in. (5.1 cm) flat sections in which the conductors are laminated in parallel.

Features

• UL / CSA certified
• Twisted pairs for significant crosstalk reduction
• Up to 64 conductors (32 pairs) with precise spacing for controlled electrical characteristics
• Double sided lamination provides excellent conductor strain relief and mass termination from either side of cable
• Reduced assembly costs compared with discrete or hand lamination terminations
