What Is FPC Cable Length?
FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) cable length refers to the standard length of the flexible ribbon cable that connects a scanning module to its host motherboard or controller. This specification determines whether the module can be positioned flexibly within a device. Customizable cable lengths allow engineers to accommodate different internal layouts without being constrained by fixed cable dimensions.
XTIOT Products with Customizable FPC Cable Options
XTIOT offers scanning modules with flexible FPC cable options, supporting both standard lengths and customization to meet diverse internal layout requirements.
XT206M1 Mini Barcode Scanner Engine
The XT206M1 features a flexible FPC interface that enables easy connection to host motherboards . XTIOT supports custom cable length and PIN assignments for this module, allowing engineers to position the scanner exactly where needed without worrying about cable reach limitations .
Perfect for:
Smart shopping cart tablets – FPC cable allows scanner mounted on cart handle to connect to tablet inside housing
Mobile payment terminals – flexible cable enables compact folding designs
Retail self-checkout systems – scanner positioned at scanning window, board tucked inside base
Embedded device manufacturing – custom cable length accommodates unique chassis layouts
XT2001CM / XT2001DM Split Design Modules
The XT2001CM and XT2001DM feature split core board and lens design with 1.5mm stamp holes for SMT mounting . The separation between board and lens is achieved via flexible interconnection, and XTIOT supports customization of cable length and PIN assignments to suit specific integration requirements .
Perfect for:
Ultra-thin POS terminals – board mounted flat on motherboard, lens positioned at scanning window with custom cable length
Slim payment devices – flexible layout accommodates tight internal spaces
OEM system integration – tailored cable length eliminates excess slack or reach issues
XT206H1 Adhesive-Mount Module
The XT206H1 features 3M double-sided adhesive ring for quick panel mounting, with customizable FPC cable length to connect from the scanning window to the host board located elsewhere in the device . This flexibility simplifies installation in thin-panel applications .
Perfect for:
Thin-panel kiosks – scanner at panel surface, board inside housing with custom cable routing
Quick retrofit installations – existing equipment layouts accommodated with tailored cable length
Medical device panels – clean installation with cable routed behind panel
Standard vs Custom FPC Cable Specifications
| Feature | Standard Option | Custom Option |
|---|---|---|
| Cable Length | Fixed standard length (varies by model) | Custom length to match device layout |
| PIN Assignments | Standard pinout configuration | Custom pin mapping for specific host boards |
| Connector Type | Standard FPC connector | Custom connector options available |
| Cable Routing | Straight or simple bend | Tailored for complex internal routing |
Critical Applications Requiring Custom FPC Cable Length
| Application | Layout Challenge | XTIOT Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Smart Shopping Cart Tablets | Scanner on handle, tablet inside housing | Custom cable length bridges distance |
| Thin-Panel Kiosks | Scanner at panel, controller inside base | Tailored cable routes through housing |
| POS Terminal Manufacturing | Board on motherboard, lens at scanning window | Custom length eliminates slack |
| Pharmaceutical Production Lines | Scanner over conveyor, control cabinet remote | Extended cable length for distance |
| Vending Machines | Scanner behind door, controller inside cabinet | Cable routed through door hinge mechanism |
Why FPC Cable Flexibility Matters
Without customizable cable lengths, engineers face:
Layout constraints – scanner must be placed within fixed cable reach
Excess slack – bulky cable bundles waste internal space
Strain risks – cables too short cause tension, too long cause tangling
Integration delays – custom cable design required from third parties
Assembly difficulty – non-optimal cable length complicates production
XTIOT delivers this capability by offering customizable FPC cable lengths and PIN assignments, enabling engineers to optimize internal layouts without compromise.
