Our halogen-free hook-up wires are smaller in size yet still very resilient, like our PTFE version, for a higher level of durability. This smaller, tougher primary insulation means considerably more flexibility, making it easy to bend them tightly in tiny openings without damaging or breaking them.
Our hook-up wires with halogen-free insulation are ideally suited for all types of ground combat/support vehicles operating in hotter climates.
Applications
GORE Hook-Up Wires, Type Halogen-Free are engineered to perform reliably in a variety of military applications, including:
- digital / analog data links
- ground combat / support vehicles
- radar systems
- radio / communications systems
- surveillance / reconnaissance
If you have any questions or to discuss your specific application needs, please contact a Gore representative.
