Ribbon Plastic Cables

What is the difference between this and the sleeve cables? they both look similar to me.

Bit of a silly answer back: My eyes aren't perfect but it mainly just seems to be an asthetical difference in whether you like the look of one or the other. I personally prefer sleeve. I do agree they both look very similar but hopefully somebody could provide greater detail?

If somebody asks for plastic cables dont worry about if you use ribbon or sleeved, either work. (just adding that in.. just encase!).

Have a nice day,
Levo. :-)

The ribbin cables are wider than the others. (the wires run parallel with each other) Remember the old ribben cables for HDD's and disk drives? Sleaved cables would be like your standard SATA cables you have in your PC.

There's no functional difference. It's purely for looks and what people like to see in their computers and nothing else.
