Microwave / RF Cable Assemblies for Aircraft Applications

Gore-flight Microwave Assemblies Cable Type 01

GORE-FLIGHT™ Microwave Assemblies are designed specifically for your Airframe microwave interconnect needs. In conjunction with our customer's requirements, Gore has developed a revolutionary cable which stands out from the competition. GORE- FLIGHT™ Microwave Assemblies have the following features which satisfy the stringent specification requirements of the Next Generation of military aircraft. They are also being specified for commercial airliner self protection.

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.
