Ribbon Cable
Ok, now to cover my real reason for loggin on...
It would appear that FIRST is again trying to prohibit the use of ribbon cable for signal wiring by specifying a minimum 24AWG conductor (<R85>). As far as my searches have gone, a 24AWG ribbon cable appears to be pure unobtanium. Also, an analysis of the PWM Y Cables included in the kit shows a 28AWG conductor! 1) Can anybody shed light on FIRST's beef with the use of standard 28AWG ribbon cable for signal wiring, or make light of the seeming dual standard? 2) Has anyone found a source for "Legal" ribbon cable incorporating 24AWG conductors, or have a source for the stuff used to make the standard IFI PWM cables? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve |
