Qualified and tested to meet strict defense industry standards, W. L. Gore & Associates’ GORE® Microwave/RF Assemblies, 7 Series for Defense Aircraft are specifically designed for airframe microwave interconnect needs. These vapor-sealed cable assemblies are backed by comprehensive qualification data to support product claims.

Avionics and vectronics require high-performance wires and cables that can deliver superior signals and fast data transmission speeds, even in demanding conditions. W. L. Gore & Associates offers a portfolio of solutions that fulfill those needs while reducing weight, installation complexities and overall costs.

Aircraft and military vehicle OEMs can review a complete list of selected, pre-qualified copper, fiber optic and hybrid cable samples from W. L. Gore & Associates. This way, you can validate our standard products in your specific application with lower technical and business risks to your program.

These durable, low-weight hybrid cables from W. L. Gore & Associates eliminate the problems with standard materials that absorb moisture and weigh drones down. They allow drones to fly higher, see farther and do more than ever before.

A key insulation material property is the dielectric constant that determines the cable’s impedance and speed of signal propagation, particularly in extreme temperatures. That’s where W. L. Gore & Associates comes in offering cables with very stable thermal properties.

For avionics requiring a coax cable with controlled impedance at 50 ohms, W. L. Gore & Associates offers a direct replacement for standard RG400 cables. They deliver lifetime signal transmission up to 3 GHz in aircraft with significant weight savings compared to RG400 cables.

This version from W. L Gore & Associates operates reliably up to 6 GHz with controlled impedance while saving valuable weight and reducing operating costs. Our coax cables are ideal for high-tech systems with countless sensors installed in passenger airliners or military aircraft and vehicles.

From lifetime mechanical protection to straightforward, expedited installation in aircraft and armed vehicles, W. L. Gore & Associates offers state-of-the-art cable technology. This pioneering cable jacket with added ruggedness is lighter, thinner and more flexible with tighter bending.

For packaging sensitive copper wires and fiber optics, W. L. Gore & Associates brings an outer jacket system built with crush- and abrasion-resistant materials proven to protect against the harshest conditions from installation, maintenance and operation.

High-definition video is essential for avionics and vectronics, from critical displays in cockpits and combat vehicles to cabin displays for entertainment. These low-weight cable bundles from W. L. Gore & Associates reliably support 4K video interfaces for a richer viewing experience.
