Includes description, features and benefits, typical applications, and performanace specifications.
Improved Cable Performance from Lighter-Weight RG Coaxial Cables
Suitable for use in commercial and military aircraft, GORE RG Coaxial Cables maintain excellent signal integrity and are over 25 percent lighter with a more than 15 percent smaller diameter when compared to standard RG coaxial cables. The excellent flexibility and tight bend radius of these cables make them easier to install, particularly when retrofitting cables in the tight spaces surrounding aircraft electronic systems.
Engineered to meet the stringent requirements of MIL-T-81790 and EN 3475-503, GORE RG Coaxial Cables withstand the harsh environments of the aerospace industry. In addition, the 50 ohm and 75 ohm cables are optimized to exceed the electrical requirements of MIL-C-17G.
The RG Coaxial Cables from Gore meets the environmental conditions required of standard RG Coax cables while significantly reducing the cable weight and cable size with the use of an engineered fluoropolymer jacket.
Typical Applications
- Navigation systems
- Communication systems
- Box-to antenna communication
- In-flight entertainment
Realize the Benefits of GORE RG Coaxial Cables
