UL2464 Cables

UL 2464 cable is a PVC-insulated parallel flat ribbon cable with multiple solid or stranded conductors bonded side-by-side in a fat plane, making it suitable for compact and orderly wiring. Its flat design with uniform conductor spacing optimizes space utilization in tight spaces, reduces crosstalk for low-speed signals, and ensures conductor alignment to reduce misalignment risks.

The most used AWG conductor sizes of UL style 2464 wire are 28AWG and 25AWG wires for almost 90% of applications. 28AWG UL2464 is always used for low-power signal transmission like printer heads, and 26AWG is used for applications that need higher current or durability like internal PCB wiring. Other AWG sizes include 20AWG, 22AWG, and 24AWG.

UL2464 cable is a rigid flat 30V PVC ribbon cable, which is feasible for easy IDC termination and an organized flat layout in electronics like printers and PCBs. UL2033 is flat and more flexible than UL2464, making it ideal for flexible applications like robotic arms. Round and grouped UL2935 provides greater durability and abrasion resistance, making it better for industrial wiring and harsh environments.

Yes. UL2464 can be daisy-chained or spliced but there are some considerations. For daisy-chaining utilizing IDCs or soldering, improper splices may cause signal loss, cross-talk, or mechanical stress. For reliable performance, avoid excessive flexing at splice points.

The maximum bend radius for UL2464 cable is 10 times the cable thickness, for example, a 1mm-thick cable requires a 10mm bend radius.

You can check for key markings like the “AWG” label, UL file number UL recognized manufacturer info, and verify those details in the UL product iQ database to confirm whether the cable is AWM style 2464 cable.

Most UL2464 cables are RoHS(Restriction of Hazardous Substances) compliant and adhere to RoHS 3 to avoid restricted harmful materials. Manufacturers like Vocson also ensure REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization, and Restriction of Chemicals) compliance to meet specific requirements.

The 26AWG UL2464 cable includes a stranded or solid conductor, PVC insulation, 30V rating, 80°C to 105°C temperature range, and a standard 0.050″ (1.27mm) conductor pitch. It works well in low-interference applications.
