GORE™ Camera Link® High Flex Flat Cable Assemblies
 GORE™ Camera Link® High Flex Flat Cable Assemblies provide motion control and vision systems with reliable interconnects for high performance flex life and signal transmission. These assemblies should be used to avoid bit errors in moving Camera Link® systems. GORE™ Camera Link® High Flex Flat Cable Assemblies provide peace of mind when reliable system performance and equipment uptime are critical.
GORE™ Camera Link® High Flex Cables use quad constructions that are laminated into a flat cable. These assemblies incorporate 26-position 3M MDR connectors to meet Camera Link® electrical requirements as shown below in the Technical Specifications.
GORE™ Camera Link® High Flex Flat Cable Assemblies provide consistent electrical performance over the life of the cable. Chart 1 shows the attenuation of GORE™ Cable compared to an alternative cable. The GORE™ Cable maintains attenuation beyond 5 million flex cycles while the alternative cable degrades quickly at only 100,000 fl ex cycles. The test was performed at 1 GHz with the alternative cable at a 75 mm bend radius and the GORE™ Cable at a more strenuous bend radius of 47 mm.
