GORE™ FireWire High Flex Cable Assemblies
 Reliable Flex Life Performance
GORE™ FireWire® High Flex Cable Assemblies provide motion control and vision systems with reliable interconnects for high performance flex life and signal transmission performance. These assemblies should be used to avoid bit errors in moving FireWire® systems. GORE™ FireWire® High Flex Assemblies provide peace of mind when reliable system performance and equipment uptime are critical.
GORE™ FireWire® High Flex Cables are available in flat and round cable assemblies. Both assemblies incorporate 6-pin connectors to meet the IEEE 1394a electrical requirements (see Technical Specifications Tables 1 and 2).
GORE™ FireWire® High Flex Round Cable Assemblies have been tested beyond 10 million cycles in rolling flex motions on bend radius of 50 mm. GORE™ FireWire® High Flex Flat Cable Assemblies have been tested beyond 20 million cycles in rolling flex motions on bend radius of 20 mm. These cables showed a stable signal transmission performance during these tests while competitive samples failed.
