GORE-FLIGHT™ Microwave / RF Cable Assemblies for Aircraft Applications
GORE-FLIGHT™ Microwave Assemblies are designed specifically for Airframe microwave interconnect needs. In conjunction with our customer's requirements, Gore has developed a revolutionary cable which stands out from the competition. These assemblies are designed to satisfy the stringent specification requirements of the next generation of military and commercial aircraft.
Key Features
-
Durable Vapour Sealing
Assemblies not only meet the requirements of MIL-T-81490, but are designed to last through years of use in harsh environments. -
Crushproof Design
Internally ruggedised construction withstands concentrated loads well in excess of those required by MIL-T-81490, thus allowing easier handling during installation and reducing likelihood of inadvertent crushing in service. -
High Flexibility
Gore's market leading flexibility is coupled with an inherent resistance to overbending and as the cable has no 'memory', installation routing is made easier. -
Optimized Electrical Performance
Featuring the renowned properties of the ePTFE dielectric combined with a helically wrapped foil shield, these assemblies provide the superior electrical characteristics associated with all Gore microwave cables.
