CX4 High Performance Cable Assemblies
 GORE™ CX4 High Performance Cable Assemblies, part of the 10Gb Ethernet standard, provide superior signal fidelity over long distances using the smallest, most flexible cable. The assemblies are engineered to be compliant with the IEEE Draft P802.3ak/D5.3 specification.
Gore's superior performance allows for specification compliance beyond the spec-targeted 15-meter maximum assembly length. All assemblies use Gore-manufactured cable and Gore/JAE "4X" connectors that meet the specifications put forth in the SFF-8470 document.

GORE 10GbE - CX4 cable assemblies incorporate semi-automated manufacturing, innovative cable and connector designs, and unique materials to provide interconnects ideally suited for 10GbE - CX4 applications. Gore™ 10GbE - CX4 cable assemblies use expanded PTFE dielectric to deliver exceptional signal fidelity over long distances in the smallest cross-sectional area. Gore is able to deliver cable assemblies that meet the IEEE Draft P802.3ak/D5.3 insertion loss requirements using the smallest gauge sizes possible as shown in the table below.
