Flat Ribbon Cable (FRC)

  • FRC (Flat Ribbon Cable) is the most widely used type in electronics for interconnections for power and signals from 6 to 64 pins.
  • These are used to interconnect internal peripherals in computers, such as hard drives, CD drives, and floppy drives. 
  • They consist of highly stranded, individually-insulated conductors that are laid parallel and then fused in a flat, flexible ribbon form, hence are known as flat ribbon cables.
  • 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.
