Fantastic. Thanks for taking the time to explain this niche topic. I was looking at ribbon cable and IDC pinout diagrams and figured they must be staggered somehow in the connector - your video shows in awesome detail exactly how this is done inside the connector. I've used these cables for 25+ years but never knew just how they worked. Thanks again.

Clear and simple... Nice!

in that last frame, you show the ribbon connected to the board.. what tool do you use for that? thats a pain when its on the board...

I didn’t know there was a literal multi-scissored mechanism underneath it all. Fascinating..

How is the tool called? Thanks

Super

Is the IDC ribbon cable suitable for something like printer or CNC axis where it will be moved repeatedly in one direction?

The Duplicator I3 Plus uses one but 8 wires (4+, 4-) are used to deliver power.
