Reduce Overall Cost of Test
GORE™ Ultra High Density (UHD) Interconnects provide an integrated system of board-mount headers and ganged cable 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.

Cable Assembly Solutions Available On-Line
GORE™ UHD Interconnects can be configured on-line to meet specific application requirements.
The cables are constructed with Gore’s ePTFE dielectric that provides lower relative losses. GORE™ Low-Loss UHD Cable Assemblies utilize our low-loss coaxial cable with UHD-S, UHD-P, and SMA-P connectors. For additional bandwidth, GORE™ High-Frequency UHD Cable Assemblies utilize our ultra low-loss coaxial cable and precision UHD connectors to support up to 10 Gigabit data rates with performance up to 15 GHz.
GORE™ UHD Cable Assemblies are available as single lines or ganged assemblies (2-, 4- or 8-position housings) for easier handling, quick connect/disconnect, and better cable management. A 10 ps relative time match is standard for all ganged GORE™ UHD Cable Assemblies.
