This document is an introduction to 3M's interconnect solutions. It describes the features and technical specifications of the 3M™ Twisted Pair Flat Cable .050″ 28 AWG Stranded, Mass Terminatable Pair, PVC 1700 series.
The 3M 1700 Series twisted pair flat cable is a .050" 28 AWG stranded, mass‑terminatable cable with a PVC insulation and a 10‑color repeat for easy identification. It is designed for reduced crosstalk in balanced drive applications and can be terminated to a broad range of IDC connectors.
The sheet provides detailed physical dimensions, electrical parameters such as characteristic impedance, capacitance, and propagation delay, as well as environmental ratings, ordering options, and warranty information.
