Cable Assemblies
Flat Ribbon Cable Assemblies
MTTJ processes flat ribbon cable from drawing-defined dimensions, including splitting, tearing, and cutting before specified end assembly. Cable construction, conductor count and pitch, connector orientation, strain relief, and inspection criteria should be fixed in the RFQ.

Flat cable and connector reference
The generic example shows a flat cable with an IDC-style connector. Cable construction, pitch, split dimensions, connector identity, orientation, and acceptance criteria still come from the drawing and supplied component data.
Equipment interconnects using specified flat cable
- Internal equipment interconnects using specified flat cable
- Control and signal connections with aligned conductor layouts
- Connectorized equipment subassemblies built from a drawing or reference sample
- OEM equipment routing where flat cable construction is specified
Pitch, split layout, end treatment, and orientation
- Drawing-specified conductor count, pitch, width, and cut length
- Split or separated conductor sections with defined start and end dimensions
- Specified IDC-style or other connector and end treatments
- Connector orientation, keying, labels, and strain relief when specified
- Prepared ends for downstream assembly requirements
Specified cable, connectors, and protection materials
- Specified flat or ribbon cable
- Specified connector and terminal components
- Specified strain-relief or protection materials
Drawing baseline
Dimension the cable, split layout, and both ends together
Use a stated reference edge for finished length, joined and separated sections, end preparation, connector orientation, and tolerances.
| Cable baseline | Identify the cable part or construction, conductor count, pitch, overall width, and reference edge. |
|---|---|
| Split and tear layout | The drawing should show where conductors remain joined, where separation begins and ends, and the required tolerances. |
| Cut and end dimensions | Finished length, exposed or prepared end length, and orientation should be dimensioned from a stated reference. |
| Connector interface | Connector or terminal part numbers, pinout, mating orientation, and accepted equivalents define the end assembly. |
| Inspection and testing | Appearance, dimensions, continuity, polarity, and any functional checks follow the supplied method and pass/fail limits. |

Appearance, dimensions, wiring, and specified fit checks
- Inspect appearance and split, tear, and cut dimensions against the drawing or approved reference.
- Check continuity and polarity when the RFQ includes a wiring table or pinout.
- Inspect connector orientation, seating, end treatment, labels, and strain relief; run other checks only when the method and limits are supplied.
