 This cable gets its name from its appearance. It is wide and flat like a ribbon, and consists of many conducting wires lying flat with rainbow colors and parallel to one another. To determine the size of a ribbon cable, you must consider and measure the spacing, or pitch, between the conductors, and the total number of conductors, also called ways. As an example of how this terminology would be used, a flat cable with 20 conductors would be called a 20-way ribbon cable.

To aid in the installation process, the gray cables are often marked with a red identification stripe along one edge for identification purposes.
