4-Wire Bus Flexible Cable
A Flexible Cable is a special type of cable that provides extra flexibility and durability for applications with challenging cable positioning, high-motion areas, or across curved surfaces.
The straight Loomia 4-wire Bus Flexible Cable has four leads that are each 0.15 in wide. Each "wire" is low resistance, giving you fast data speed and solid wattage without heating up. Each bus is twistable, drapable, and bendable for all soft circuit needs. This bus can be easily soldered to the S-curve Bus or C-Curve Bus to make different shaped traces for wearable tech applications.
Loomia parts are designed to be easily soldered together, and work well with popular micro controllers like Arduino Nano and Teensy. The system revolves around Loomia's custom interconnect, which allows for a simple connection between buses. The interconnect can be soldered to headers for easy breadboarding. From fabric to wood, Loomia components can stick onto a range of materials, making your prototypes look clean and polished.
Note: There are a number of operating procedures to be aware of before using Loomia products. This includes directions to not wash or sew any of the parts. Make sure to check the Datasheet at www.loomia.com/resources to get more information on this component.
