GORE® Abrasion Resistant Cable Jacket for Aerospace & Defense
Our thinner, lighter material meets stricter durability requirements without additional sleeving for the highest abrasion and cut-through resistance to protect copper wires.
Highest Protection for High Data Rate Copper Wires
GORE® Abrasion Resistant Cable Jacket meets new and existing standards for packaging high data rate wires without sacrificing size, weight or signal transmission performance. Made of a revolutionary fluoropolymer fiber material, our rugged jacket eliminates additional protective sleeving for copper wires installed seats.
Thinner, Lighter & More Flexible
Outperforming common industry materials, GORE Abrasion Resistant Cable Jacket offers added features for packaging copper wires, including:
- revolutionary fluoropolymer fiber material
- abrasion- and cut-through resistant material
- chemically inert material
- thinner, lighter, highly flexible design
Our pioneering cable jacket provides more benefits for best-in-class protection against typical airborne and land conditions, like:
- meets strict EN3475 and SAE AS4373™ durability requirements
- superior resistance against abrasion, cut-through, high temperatures and more
- eliminates protective sleeving required for copper wires installed in seats
- allows copper wires to transmit high-speed data and video reliably
- contributes to valuable aircraft and vehicle weight savings
- easier, faster routing because of more flexibility and tighter bending
- ideal for packaging GORE High Speed Data Cables or industry alternatives

Cut-Through Resistance at High Temperatures
We used SAE AS4373™, Method 703, to compare our 100-ohm high-speed quadrax cables wrapped with our rugged cable jacket against alternatives.
As expected, GORE Abrasion Resistant Cable Jacket drastically outperformed PFA and FEP materials for superior cut-through resistance at high temperatures without cracking, splitting or breaking. Our cable jacket ensures copper wires transmit data and video reliably in the intended application.
