3M™ Round, Jacketed, Flat Cable
.025″ 30 AWG Stranded, Mass-Term, PVC/PVC 3896 Series
• Round construction permits easier routing
• 30 AWG wire on .025 inch centers permits
mass termination
• Continuous split/bond allows for mass
termination on 2.4 inch centers (approximate)
• Close spacing permits higher signal density
• Primary cable is zippable for branching or
discrete terminations
• PVC insulation provides excellent flexibility
• Recommended for use with 3M™ Tripolarized
Wiremount Socket 82XXX-600X, .050" x .100";
3M™ Mini D Ribbon (MDR) Wiremount Plug
101XX-8X00EE, .050"; and 3M™ Pak 50 IDC
Sockets P25E-XXXs-XXX
• See Regulatory Information Appendix (RIA)
for chemical compliance information
