3M Round, Jacketed, Flat Cable
.025" 30 AWG Stranded, Mass-Term, PVC/PVC 3896 Series
Round construction permits easier routing
30 AWG wire on .025 inch centers permits mass
termination
Continuous split/bond allows for mass termination on
2.4 inch centers (approximate)
Close spacing permits higher signal density
Primary cable is zippable for branching or discrete
terminations
PVC insulation provides excellent flexibility
Recommended for use with 3M Tripolarized
Wiremount Socket 82XXX-600X, .050" x .100";
3M Mini D Ribbon (MDR) Wiremount Plug
101XX-8X00EE, .050"; and 3M Pak 50 IDC
Sockets P25E-XXXs-XXX
