cutting and even for terminating.\u00a0 We are tooled for every connector manufacturer and in most cases could start delivering within 48 hours of processing your order.\u00a0 All cables are of course made to our own ISO and UL approvals and meet RoHS standards.\u00a0 Every single assembly we produce is manufactured in house, controlled by our ERP and QA procedures and then passes through QA for 100% electrical test and visual inspection.\u00a0 Every aspect of manufacture is documented, recorded and stored.\u00a0 Test certificates can be produced and a Certificate of Conformance is provided free of charge as standard, as with all our cable assemblies.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PVC Ribbon Cables<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We use as standard a UL approved flat ribbon cable in either 24 or 26 AWG formats.\u00a0 Both types are stranded and pre tinned so you have flexibility and ease when terminating through a PCB.\u00a0 We offer various different pitches with 2.54mm being the most popular.\u00a0 We can produce from 2 to 24 conductors, with or without a polarisation stripe, and from lengths of 25mm to over 3000mm.\u00a0 Again all these products go through our strict manufacture and quality checks and is again recorded into our QA system.<\/p>\n<p>Please do contact one of our sales team on +44 (0) 23 8022 7636 or <a
