Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Six 30cm cables per pack, so you have spares for multiple builds
  • ✓ 2x10 female IDC sockets on both ends fit standard 2.54mm pin headers
  • ✓ 28 AWG 7x36 stranded wire handles repeated flexing
  • ✓ 300V wire rating covers typical low-voltage signal runs
  • ✓ Conductors peel apart cleanly for custom splits and terminations

Cons

  • ✗ Only one length (30cm); short runs leave slack to fold or tie down
  • ✗ Female on both ends; won't mate directly with female board sockets
  • ✗ 20-pin only; not a fit for 34-pin floppy or 40-pin IDE headers
  • ✗ 28 AWG conductors are thin and not meant for power delivery

Manufacturer description

The Antrader 20-pin IDC ribbon cable 6-pack gives you six ready-made 2x10 jumpers for connecting boards that use standard 2.54mm pin headers. Each cable has a 20-pin double-row female IDC socket on both ends and runs 12 inches (30cm). That is long enough to reach from a programmer to a target board, or between two boards in one enclosure, without leaving much slack in the case. The flat ribbon uses 28 AWG (7x36) stranded wire rated for 300V, with conductors on a 1.27mm (0.05") center spacing. Stranded wire tolerates repeated flexing better than solid core. The conductors also peel apart…
