When we need to connect many single core electrical wires, in order to make the wires arranged more neatly, not messy, and match each electrical wire faster and more accurately, we need to connect these single core wires, which is commonly referred to as parallel cable or ribbon cable. We can use different colors to confirm each core wire or label different serial numbers on the wires to distinguish them. If we have high voltage requirements, sometimes we also need to add a layer of sheath above the parallel cable. Many application areas require this type of parallel cables, such as our audio cable, which includes a 2-core parallel speaker cable and a 3-core parallel speaker cable. For example, our power cord also has 2-core or 3-core flat cables. There are also very wide applications for data cables, when we open a computer, we will find many colorful ribbon cables. It is also widely used in the field of lighting.

What is a parallel cable?

The parallel cable is formed by connecting two or multi-core wires in parallel. The common parallel cable is a 2-core flat cable, with common colors being red and black or white and red bars, The material of the conductor of the parallel cable can be copper, tinned copper, copper-clad aluminum, copper-clad steel, OCC, OFC and so on, the insulation material can be PVC, silicone, LSZH, and so on. Common American standard parallel cables include UL2468, SPT-2, SPT-3, etc. YCABLE ELECTRONICS can help you with OEM parallel cable with different sizes, different colors, and different shapes and we also can help you add a jacket for the parallel cable to protect it. YCABLE ELECTRONICS can provide you with a parallel battery cable, a 25-pin parallel cable, and so on.

    
 

What is a speaker cable?

Speaker cables are the most common audio cables used for electrical connections between speakers and amplifier sources. It consists of a red core wire and a black core wire, it is a kind of parallel cable. YCABLE ELECTRONICS has many years of experience in producing high-end speaker cables. we can produce the best 8 AWG speaker cable, 12 AWG speaker cable, 16 gauge speaker cable, 18 gauge speaker cable, transparent speaker cable, braided speaker cable, and custom speaker cables for you to make your own speaker cables. 


 

Now we have different kinds of shapes for the speaker cable, The regular shapes are round and round, there are also square and round, square and square, flat and flat. and also with a round jacket like the round power cable. The material of the conductor for the speaker cables is pure copper, OFC, OCC, tinned copper, silver-plated copper, copper-clad aluminum, tinned copper-clad aluminum, and copper-clad steel. The material of the insulation can be normal PVC, PE, transparent PE, transparent PVC, smoke transparent PVC, silicone, TPE, XLPE, and LSZH. We can choose speaker cables of different materials according to different usage requirements


 

What are ribbon cables made of?

The ribbon cable is very similar to a strip, it is a flat, thin cable composed of multiple single-core wires placed parallel to each other, it can be a 5pin ribbon cable, 10-pin ribbon cable, 20-pin ribbon cable, 34-pin ribbon cable, 40 pin ribbon cable, or even 50 pin ribbon cable. Each core wire is placed side by side to form a wide and flat cable, which can be composed of multiple colors to distinguish each cable, or the same color with different numerical markings. 


 

Ribbon cables are generally used as data cables, which are used for data transmission according to different standard cable layout rules, cable sequence, cable color, etc., such as the data cable connecting the internal computer motherboard to the hard drive, and the data cable connecting the mobile phone motherboard to the display screen.
