Overview

CRYSTAL CLEAR, HIGH-DEFINITION DISPLAYS

It’s essential for aircrews to view critical video instantly and as clearly as possible in cockpits and workstations to avoid potential disasters. So aviation cables must be rugged, support high-resolution displays and transmit fast, reliable signals. Cables must also be small enough to fit in limited spaces and light enough to help save weight on aircraft.

Offering versions for 1.4 Cat2 and 2.0 protocols, GORE HDMI Cables support 4K video resolution for a rich, clear, defined viewing experience on aircraft displays. They’re proven to transmit outstanding signals at high data rates up to 18 Gb/s so that aircrews can receive and view critical Intel instantaneously in high definition.

LOW-WEIGHT, FLEXIBLE CONSTRUCTION

Size and flexibility matter when it comes to routing cables in military aircraft to avoid frequent failures, reduce replacement costs and keep aircraft weight down. We construct our HDMI cable bundles with unique, low-weight materials that produce smaller diameters and tighter bend radii for optimal flexibility during installation. When space is at a premium, maintainers will appreciate how quick and easy it is to bend and route our cable bundles.

But, that doesn’t mean durability is compromised. Though low weight, these cable bundles can easily sustain the demands of their environment, providing lifetime performance for military personnel and cost savings for original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).

  • sensor/processor connectivity
  • weather mapping

Our cables can also be terminated with a variety of leading high-speed aerospace connector systems and backshells, like ARINC and MIL-STD-38999 with size 8 contacts.

Features & Benefits

Ideal for high-resolution displays, GORE HDMI Cables are built with distinct features that make them more durable against demanding environmental factors and interior aircraft conditions:

  • abrasion- and temperature-resistant materials
  • chemically inert materials
  • small, low-weight cable diameters

Our aviation cable bundles offer system architects and engineers a number of benefits that ensure lifetime mechanical and electrical performance, like:

  • 1.4 Cat 2 and 2.0 versions to meet protocol requirements
  • outstanding signals for high-speed data transmission up to 18 Gb/s
  • support 4K video resolution for a rich, clear, defined viewing experience
  • robust construction provides uncompromising durability in difficult conditions
  • weight savings in aircraft from low-weight cable design
  • simplified routing from smaller diameters, more flexibility and tighter bend radii
  • lifetime product performance yields less failures and replacement costs
  • compatible with a variety of high-speed connector systems and backshells
