Overview

NON-STOP SIGNAL TRANSFER

Get a sampleThe success of every military ground mission depends greatly on soldiers receiving critical information immediately without any signal or data glitches. They must also charge their portable devices as fast as possible without interruptions.

Meeting 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 protocols, GORE USB Cables offer non-stop signal transmission up to 10 Gb/s without interruptions. They make sure high volumes of data and video are uploaded and downloaded instantly, so ground forces get real-time Intel. All versions of our cable bundles also support the latest power management systems so soldiers can comfortably charge carry-on devices quickly, easily and without delay.

LIFETIME MECHANICAL PROTECTION

The battlefield can be extremely challenging for power and data cables, exposing them and sensitive components to grueling conditions. For added protection, we manufacture our cable bundles with engineered fluoropolymer materials proven to deliver a lifetime of service. They can easily tolerate the most harmful conditions, like extreme temperatures, abrasion, chemicals and more

You can trust that sturdy GORE USB Cables will perform without failure and last long after the alternatives have surrendered to harsh environments.
