Bonded Telemetry Quads
Highest Transmission Stability
Using innovative material technologies, GORE™ Bonded Telemetry Quad Cables provide the highest transmission stability for marine geophysical exploration applications.
Gore’s low dielectric constant, expanded PTFE (ePTFE) and PTFE materials enable the bonding of the quads. This reduces the overall diameter and weight of the cables. The result is a smaller outer diameter, enhanced floatation characteristics, and the highest signal integrity under mechanical stress for streamer cables.

The specific location of each insulated, silver-plated conductor bonded throughout the entire length of the quad maximizes the electrical performance and reliability during flex. Gore uses only the highest quality, multi-layered, concentric, and pin-hole free insulations over each conductor. Each material is compatible with streamer fluids, other floatation media, and can operate in wide temperature ranges.
The data transmission performance of GORE™ Bonded Telemetry Quad Cables remains high, consistent, and reliable throughout its life cycle. GORE™ Bonded Telemetry Quad Cables have over 5 years of proven performance and unsurpassed reliability in marine streamer cables around the world.
