3M 3659 Series Flat Cable, 30m Length, 26 Conductors - 3659-26


This flat cable is a multi‑conductor electrical cable designed for interconnection in industrial and electronic systems where a compact, screened solution is required. It combines multiple conductors within a single black PVC sheath to provide a routed, screened path for signals and low‑voltage power in control, automation and equipment wiring environments.

Features and Benefits:


• 26 conductors at 1.27mm pitch for dense connector layouts
• Screened construction reduces electromagnetic interference on signals
• Tin‑plated copper round conductors improve solderability and conductivity
• 7‑strand conductor construction enhances flexibility for routing and movement
• Rated to 300V for low‑voltage distribution and signalling circuits
• PVC sheath and VW‑1 flame behaviour support safer cable routing

Applications


• Suitable for connecting control panels to PLCs and I/O modules
• Ideal for ribbon‑to‑round termination in instrumentation harnesses
• Used with cable assemblies in automation equipment and machines
• Can be used for internal wiring of electronic enclosures
• Suitable for wiring that must comply with NEC Article 725 signalling requirements

What temperature range can it operate within?


It is specified for continuous use between -20°C and 80°C to accommodate typical indoor and mild industrial environments.

How does the screening affect installation?


The screened construction requires proper termination of the screen at chassis or connector to achieve EMC attenuation

this improves immunity when correctly earthed.

What approvals support building and installation standards?


It carries UL listings applicable to low‑voltage building and appliance wiring including AWM 20267 and CL2 classifications Plus Canadian FTI recognition.

How long is the supplied length and how does that influence planning?


The cable is supplied as a 30 m length, allowing single‑run installations without splicing for many control and equipment runs.
