Gore part numbers consist of a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 15 alphanumeric characters. Groupings of these characters have a specific meaning.

When it comes to long-length microwave coaxial assemblies, their phase/loss stability and repeatability, as well as shielding effectiveness, have historically not been well documented. This is largely due to the low demand for these types of assemblies and lack of standardized testing procedures. Published by W. L. Gore & Associates, White Paper: Phase Stability, Loss Stability and Shielding Effectiveness of Long Length provides some much-needed insights into this type of equipment to help operators, engineers and manufacturers find the right extended-length solutions.

W. L. Gore & Associates examines constraints that may have an impact on cable performance. Also examined is the process involved in selecting the right materials based on sufficient testing to verify cables will survive and perform reliably in the harshest environments.

W. L. Gore & Associates brings decades of unique materials science technology and in-depth application knowledge to the semiconductor industry. Find out where our advanced capabilities are used throughout semiconductor manufacturing processes — from front end to back end.

Selecting a reliable, high-performing microwave/RF cable assembly will eliminate many of the common problems experienced with test systems. Learn more from the white paper.
