Gore’s superior performance allows for specification compliance beyond the spec-targeted 15-meter maximum assembly length. The assemblies are available in lengths up to 50 meters for nonstandard or proprietary applications. All assemblies use Gore manufactured cable that meets the specifications put forth in the SFF-8470 document.

GORE™ CX4 High Performance Cable Assemblies incorporate semi-automated manufacturing, innovative cable and connector designs, and unique materials to provide interconnects ideally suited for CX4 applications. GORE™ CX4 High Performance Cable Assemblies use expanded PTFE dielectric to deliver exceptional signal fidelity over long distances in the smallest cross-sectional area.
