DUNDEE TECHNOLOGY PARK, UK. (July 12, 2018) — W. L. Gore & Associates, Inc. (Gore) is pleased to announce that GORE® Aerospace Fiber Optic Cables, 1.8 mm Simplex is proven to provide greater impact resistance in the most challenging environments for extended service life. These cables reliably transfer mission-critical data on military high-speed avionics networks up to 10 gigabits.

Built with a unique buffering system, Gore’s 1.8 mm Simplex cables resist crushing, kinking and abrasion and can easily handle complex routing, maintenance activities, and repeated flight conditions — unmatched by today’s alternatives. These robust cables also have a compact, flexible footprint with tight bending capability that meets size, weight and routing constraints as more high-tech avionics are being installed or retrofitted into military aircraft.

Gore's offers a collection of single- and multi-mode fiber optic cables that meet stringent industry requirements for reliable performance on military high-speed avionics networks. Gore's legacy 1.2 mm Simplex cables deliver stable optical performance in a rugged construction that withstands extreme conditions that can severely impact overall system performance. Gore's 900 micron buffered fiber optic cables allow for a smaller-scale design preferable for inside-the-box applications while still being compatible with standard ARINC 801 termini. Lastly, Gore’s fiber optic ribbon cables provide durable, long-lasting protection with up to 12 channels while maintaining high-speed communications on networks.

GORE® Aerospace Fiber Optic Cables complement Gore’s wide selection of high-speed data cables, including Ethernet, USB, HDMI, and more. Gore’s entire portfolio of high-performance aerospace cables and materials will be on display at the Farnborough International Airshow, 16-22 July in Hall 1, Booth 1265.
