AWM 2651 IDE Ribbon Cable is a flat, multi-conductor ribbon cable commonly used for internal IDE/ATA connections in legacy computers, workstations, and electronic equipment. AWM 2651 identifies the UL Appliance Wiring Material construction, commonly using PVC insulation with a 300V rating and 105°C maximum temperature rating. Standard IDE assemblies commonly use a 40-pin connector arrangement and 28 AWG conductors.
