LANDENBERG, Pa (November 15, 2017) - W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. (Gore) announced today that its GORE® Aerospace Ethernet Cables were recognized by the judges of the annual Military & Aerospace Electronics Innovators Awards program. The judging panel consisted of a panel of senior third-party expert professionals.

GORE Aerospace Ethernet Cables earned the gold award for product and system-level innovation. These Cat6a cables are engineered for the increasing data demands of modern airborne digital networks. They deliver superior signal integrity for high-speed data transmission in a small, lightweight design without compromising durability. Gore’s cables can handle rigorous flexing during routing with a tight bend radius as small as 0.5 inches (12.7 millimeters) without breaking or failing — ensuring proven performance after installation and over time in mission-critical systems.
