Custom Display Cable Solutions
From FPC and FFC cables to IDC ribbon cables and tailored solutions, we offer custom cable solutions designed to meet the unique requirements of your display projects.
Get startedLCD and OLED Customized Display Cables
Standard Off-the-shelf cables may not always fit every display project perfectly. Sometimes, it's essential to customize a cable for an LCD or OLED display within specific industries and environments. The display application may have unique space constraints, signal requirements, and interface specifications that standard cables can't accommodate.
Custom cables ensure optimal performance, reliability, and perfect integration to meet the demands of your project in any environment. They can also be designed with specific environmental factors, such as chemical resistance or UV exposure for outdoor applications.
Custom Cable Integration Solutions for Commercial and Industrial Applications
- Improved performance: Custom cables can ensure optimal signal transmission, leading to excellent visuals and data transfer.
- Reduced interference: Cable shielding and grounding techniques can mitigate electromagnetic interference (EMI), which can degrade signal quality.
- Long-term reliability: Custom cables are engineered with durable materials to withstand harsh conditions such as fluctuating temperatures, moisture, or physical stress.
- Space optimization: Custom cables can be designed with right-angle or low-profile connectors to reduce space requirements further and improve cable management in compact devices, reducing clutter and potential points of failure.
- Cost-effectiveness: Over the lifecycle of a project, custom cables can reduce maintenance costs and downtime by providing more reliable connections and easier installation processes.
Cable Solutions Built for Performance
Don't settle for off-the-shelf display cables that limit your design. Our custom display cable solutions are engineered to meet the exact specifications of your project, ensuring optimal performance and integration.
Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC)
FPC cables are thin, highly flexible, and made with a plastic base, thin wires, and circuitry etched onto their surface. They can be customized to include multiple layers for complex circuitry and made with various connectors to suit different interfaces. This unique design allows them to be bent and twisted without breaking, making them ideal for applications where space is limited and flexibility is essential. FPCs are commonly used in medical devices, automotive panels, and mobile devices like cameras and smartphones to connect components within confined spaces.
Flat Flexible Cable (FFC)
Flat Flexible Cables (FFC cables) are thin cables consisting of multiple flat conductors sandwiched between layers of flexible insulation, making them ideal for short-distance connections in limited spaces like printers, scanners, and LCD displays. They also offer excellent signal integrity due to their uniform conductor layout, making them suitable for high-frequency applications.
Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC)
IDC ribbon cables can be quickly and easily terminated with simple hand tools, making them a cost-effective solution for prototyping and small-scale production runs while also providing a quick and reliable method to connect components with connectors at each end, eliminating the need to strip wires or solder, ideal for frequently connected and disconnected applications such as computer peripherals, telecommunications equipment, and automotive electronics.
