Product Overview
RELIABLE HIGH DATA RATE SIGNAL TRANSMISSION
In today’s automation equipment, cables must operate at higher speeds without compromising signal integrity while meeting new data and video interface protocols. They must also move faster with longer flex life in complex semiconductor environments.
With a proven track record, GORE High Speed Data Cables provide peace of mind when reliable system performance and equipment uptime are critical. They’re known to transmit non-stop signals up to 1 GHz while minimizing bit errors in moving applications like motion control and vision systems. They also meet, even exceed, protocol requirements, like Ethernet, FireWire®, USB and CoaXPRESS. Their lightweight design offers superior flex life performance and maximum resistance to severe mechanical and environmental stresses.
LIGHTWEIGHT WITH LONG FLEX LIFE
Most standard cables on the market today are designed for static environments, and when put in motion environments, they fail to meet industry specifications. Also, insertion loss increases when these cables are flexed.
You can flex GORE High Speed Data Cables beyond 10 million cycles without worrying about electrical failure or mechanical degradation. You can feel confident that they’ll deliver stable signal transmission during flexure over the life of the equipment. Plus, our lighter cable design reduces weight and stress, and a small bend radius of 50 millimeters (2 inches) makes them easier to install in your equipment.
LOWEST LEVELS OF PARTICULATION
Our cables are certified to ISO Class 1 cleanroom environments by the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany according to the probability calculations defined in VDI Guideline 2083 and ISO 14644-1. The institute determined that GORE High Speed Data Cables have less than 0.1% probability of emitting particulates, maintaining the lowest levels for repeated flexing.
