These values demonstrate the optical, mechanical and environmental performance of GORE Fiber Optic Ribbon Cables for civil aircraft. Our part numbers are identified by an asterisk (*) designating the core type, followed by an asterisk designating the number of fibers (i.e., 4, 8, or 12). Also, optical values are typical.
For exact part number values and more options of our 12-fiber ribbon cable, contact a Gore representative.
We invite you to download the data sheet for more technical information and performance data.
