GORE™ Optimized RG Cable
RG coaxial cable has been the standard cable used by various markets for many years. Engineers often require a cable similar to RG but smaller in size with the same electrical specifications or the same size cable with lower loss. Gore offers several optimized RG cables. GORE™ Optimized RG Cables offer up to 49% lower attenuation or outer diameter reductions up to 47% while preserving the highest electrical integrity. As a result, these cables will transmit over longer distances, have lower density and provide higher bandwidth than their RG counterparts.

Electronic Products Design Center
The Electronic Products Design Center includes tools and information to help you design and select electronic components and materials.
Gore offers alternatives to RG316, RG178, RG59, RG180 and RG400. Detailed information is shown below. Custom solutions are also available to meet your unique requirements.
Material and Process Benefits
Gore’s PTFE and ePTFE dielectric materials are engineered to meet the needs of the most advanced electrical and physical requirements and are capable of achieving the lowest dielectric constant and lightest weight of all commercially available insulations. Gore’s tape wrapping process yields a superior layer of dielectric compared to extrusion. These advanced PTFE dielectric materials and precision tape wrapping process combine to produce a wide variety of standard and custom high-end cable solutions.
