Apart from round multi-core cables, FLAT Bonded Woven Ribbon cables are also available with plain cores, or with twisted pairs, or with shielded wirescoaxial cables as cores. In many situations, flat cables provide neat solutions for interconnections.
When the space is limited, the flat cable can be set against the wall and take much less space than a round multi-core cable with same number of cores. Also, where a repeat movement back and forth is desired (for example a drawer or door, opening and closing, or a printer head etc), flat cables are quite useful.
In some applications, the spacing between adjacent cores of flat cables can play an important role, say for deciding the capacitance. An example is the TV antenna cable.
