GORE™ High Flex Cables and On-line Design Tool Receive Awards
Both GORE™ High Flex Cables and the On-line Design Tool have been recognized as industry leading innovations.
GORE™ Camera Link® High Flex Flat Cable Assemblies, Best Product Finalist: Components, Hardware & Interconnect
Design News, 2008
"W.L. Gore & Assoc. Camera Link High Flex Flat Cable provides motion control and vision systems with reliable cable for high-performance flex life and signal transmission performance. The cables prevent bit errors or loss of data in moving Camera Link systems. Gore's cables have been tested beyond 20 million cycles in rolling flex motions on bend radius of 50 mm."
GORE™ FireWire® High Flex Cable Assemblies, Best Product Finalist: Components, Hardware & Interconnect
Design News, 2007
"These assemblies are specifically designed for motion and vision systems, they provide reliable data transmission during flexing. They can also be used in applications requiring longer cable runs."
GORE™ High Flex Cable Design Tool, 12th Annual Engineering Awards: The Fabulous 50 Finalist (#13)
Product Design and Development, 2007
Design Tool for GORE™ High Flex Flat Cable or GORE™ Trackless Cable from standard components was selected as a finalist in the 2007 competition.
"The software tool simplifies the design process by giving engineers an interactive design guide, enabling them to design cables and assemblies from standard components to fit their specific application needs."
GORE™ High Flex Cable Design Tool, Best Product Finalist: Software/Hardware
Design News, 2006
"The benefits of using the online tool are shorter design time, simplified design effort and faster delivery. The tool provides step-by-step instructions for designing cables using standard components."
GORE™ Trackless Cable, Best Product of the Year
Design News, 2003
Judge Dick Miller states, "The Gore engineers found an elegant way to eliminate issues with the standard cable track found in most applications—they eliminated the entire cable track."
"Like ancient explorers whose journeys expanded the boundaries of the known world, developers at W.L. Gore & Associates (Elkton, MD) have nearly quadrupled the travel range of unsupported hybrid planar cable, from approximately 16 inches to at least 60 inches."
