Benefits of GORE High Speed Data Cables
Our custom military and aerospace cables are smaller and lighter, giving system architects and engineers more design options. Their compact designs are also more flexible and bend more tightly than leading alternatives, making them easier and faster to route and retrofit in crowded areas. Our products for defense and aerospace file transfer also offer the following:
SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT SAVINGS
Using a unique proprietary material (expanded PTFE), our high-speed data cable solutions have a considerably reduced jacket weight than leading alternative materials. In fact, they’re up to 37% lighter than those made with ETFE material and up to 50% lighter than those made with FEP material. For instance, our high-speed Ethernet materials can save installed weight up to 82 kg/km or 180 lbs. per 1000 ft. in aircraft and combat vehicles compared to other high-speed data cable manufacturers. Not only do our materials save weight, but they also make cable diameters smaller and more flexible to help simplify installation.
RELIABLE SIGNALS OVER LONG DISTANCES
Designed with signal strength and integrity in mind, our wires and cables remain stable without requiring additional signal amplification devices. They deliver high power, high data rates and high bandwidth over long distances with total reliability. For example, our high-speed Ethernet cable for Cat8 protocol offers faster speeds up to 40G-BASE-T at lengths up to 22 m (72 ft.) without adding weight to help you adjust now and be ready for the future.
UNRIVALED DURABILITY
Thanks to their unique construction, GORE High Speed Data Cables for Air & Defense offer superior durability, protection and a much longer lifespan than many leading alternatives. They resist wide temperature ranges, crushing, abrasion and vibration common in aerospace and defense environments. What’s more, our military and aerospace cable solutions have a greater cut-through resistance — even at high temperatures — and are made of chemically inert materials that reduce reactions to harmful contaminants and fluids.
