01 / CONFIGURATION DIRECTIONS
Select a configuration from the application boundaries
These configurations establish a practical discussion starting point. The final product requires a controlled specification based on interface, length, installation and validation conditions.
Antistatic direction
For ESD-sensitive handling, inspection and packaging equipment.
IDC-compatible direction
Pitch and conductor layout defined around insulation-displacement termination where appropriate.
Match a solution direction to the link target
Solution codes support early technical discussions by aligning protocol, construction, link boundaries and application in one view.

03 / TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION
From functional core to terminated interface
Fine-stranded conductors
Stranding balances electrical resistance and fatigue behavior.
Flexible insulation
Low-stress material protects conductors while maintaining pitch.
Parallel layout
Places conductors near the neutral plane and controls relative movement.
Reinforcement/slip layer
Stabilizes width and manages tension, friction and local stress.
Low-friction surface
Supports repeated travel and selected clean-environment direction.
