GORE® Shielded Twisted Pair Cables for Defense Air & Land
In a low-profile design, these cables meet today’s higher data rate requirements with controlled impedance while saving valuable weight in defense aircraft and vehicles. They’re built with more durability for lifelong performance so troops can focus on the mission instead of dealing with unreliable systems that can risk the mission and their safety.

Overview
FAST SPEEDS WITH DURABILITY
During missions, cables must quickly transfer critical information and maintain stable communications on avionics and vectronics. These cables must also balance ruggedness with smaller, lighter designs to fit in space-restricted areas and keep weight down.
Inside GORE Shielded Twisted Pair Cables, we use low-voltage differential signal (LVDS) technology to transfer data and video at speeds up to 1 GHz with controlled impedance. Regardless of the mission conditions, armed forces can count on their reliable performance in aircraft and vehicles. That’s because the combination of durable materials in our cable construction tolerates mechanical stresses and environmental factors, like changing climate zones, constant vibration and rigorous routing.
BIG WEIGHT SAVINGS
We build our Mil-spec twisted pair cables in a low-profile design that’s 30% smaller, reducing their weight by as much as 50% compared to standard oval cables. If you compare our ePTFE shielded wire design side by side with alternative round designs, you’ll notice that our cable is much smaller. Plus, our cables are more flexible and routable in hard-to-reach places of airframes and vehicle structures.

Applications
We thoroughly test and qualify GORE Shielded Twisted Pair Cables to meet stringent STP cable specification standards, like the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) and VG95218-31 performance requirements. Their reliable performance is well-suited for wire and cable harness applications, like:
- avionics/vetronics digital networks
- Ethernet backbone
- HD streaming camera/video systems
- high-density connectors
- LVDS devices
- sensor/processor interconnects
- serial buses
Our cables can also be terminated with a variety of leading shielded twisted pair connector systems and backshells, like ARINC and MIL-STD-38999 with differential Twinax sizes 8 and 22D contacts.
Features & Benefits
Unlike standard oval or alternative round versions, GORE Shielded Twisted Pair Cables are engineered with unique features that make them more durable against harsh maintenance and operational environments, including:
- chemically inert, polyimide-free materials
- abrasion- and temperature-resistant materials
- low-profile cable configuration
For system architects and engineers, our twisted pair wire cable offers numerous benefits that ensure lifetime performance in defense aircraft and vehicles, like:
- reliable LVDS technology with controlled impedance at 100 ohms
- dependable twisted pair cable data transfer rate up to 1 GHz
- 30% smaller and 50% lighter than standard oval cables
- higher tolerance against extreme temperatures, cut-through, vibration, more
- improved installation from higher flexibility and tighter bend radius
- compatible with a variety of leading cable connector systems and backshells
