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.
