Elkton, MD (June 20, 2008) – W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) introduces an on-line builder for configuring GORE™ Ultra High Density (UHD) Interconnects to use in bench top test systems, instrument probe cable, parallel data link, production floor equipment, and automated test equipment. GORE™ Ultra High Density (UHD) Interconnects provide an integrated system of board mount headers and ganged assemblies with reliable signal integrity performance. Cost savings are achieved through shorter test set-up, fewer calibrations, and smaller boards. GORE™ UHD Interconnects enable lower loss, lower skew, better impedance control, and shorter board trace lengths.
Gore's new Ultra High Density Interconnect Builder is available at www.gore.com/uhdbuilder. GORE™ Low Loss UHD Cable Assemblies utilize GORE™ Low Loss Coaxial Cable, made using ePTFE dielectric, with UHD-S, UHD-P, and SMA-P connectors. For additional bandwidth, GORE™ High Frequency UHD Cable Assemblies utilize GORE™ Ultra-Low Loss Coaxial Cable and precision UHD connectors to achieve performance up to 15 GHz, supporting up to 10 Gigabit data rates.
GORE™ UHD Cable Assemblies are available as single lines or ganged into 2-, 4-, or 8-position housings that allow easier handling quick connect and disconnect, and better cable management. A 10pS relative time match is standard for all ganged UHD Cable Assemblies.
