Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does "26 AWG" mean and is it suitable for low-voltage LED applications?

A: AWG stands for American Wire Gauge — the lower the number, the thicker the wire. 26 AWG is a thin, flexible gauge well-suited for low-voltage, low-current applications such as LED display screens, data communication lines, and internal PCB signal wiring. The UL2468 flat ribbon cable 26AWG is rated up to 300V, making it more than capable for standard LED and electronics projects.

Q: What pitch size is this ribbon cable and what connectors does it fit?

A: This UL2468 flat ribbon cable uses a standard 2.54mm pitch (0.1 inch), which is the most common spacing for IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) headers, dupont connectors, and standard PCB pin headers. It is compatible with the vast majority of hobbyist and commercial electronics connectors.

Q: Can I cut this ribbon cable to a shorter length?

A: Yes. The cable comes in a 1-meter length and can be cleanly cut to your desired length using scissors or a sharp utility knife. Ensure you cut straight across all conductors for the best results when attaching IDC connectors.

Q: Does this cable come with connectors attached?

A: No, this listing is for the bare flat ribbon cable only — it does not include modular telephone connectors or any IDC terminations. You will need to add your own compatible connectors based on your project requirements.

Q: How many conductor options are available for this UL2468 ribbon cable?

A: This cable is available in 4P, 5P, 6P, 7P, 8P, 9P, 10P, and 12P conductor configurations. Simply select the pin count that matches your project's wiring needs when placing your order.
