GORE® Cable Protection Systems
Our extremely durable jackets provide the highest protection against crushing and abrasion, preventing damage to fiber optics and copper wires during installation and operation.
Durable Jackets Against Harsh Routing & Operational Conditions
GORE® Cable Protection Systems withstand complex routing, constant vibration, corrosive chemicals, harsh fluids and oils, extreme temperatures and other environmental factors. These cable jackets also contribute to valuable weight savings in aircraft and defense vehicles.
Superior Mechanical Protection
Unmatched by alternative jacket designs, GORE Cable Protection Systems offer exceptional features for packaging fiber optics and copper wires, including:
- crush- and abrasion-resistant layers
- chemically inert material
- highly flexible, routable design
These jacket systems bring a handful of benefits, ensuring the best possible protection against harsh operational and maintenance conditions, like:
- provide proven superior levels of durability and protection
- allow copper and fiber to move freely inside without damage or failure
- enable hassle-free installation and tighter bending with controlled limits to MBR
- contribute to valuable aircraft and vehicle weight savings
- designed for packaging GORE® High Speed Data Cables or alternatives
- compatible with M85049/88 connector backshells, adaptors and similar banding platform backshells
Defense & Civil Aircraft
Defense Vehicles
GORE Cable Protection Systems provide added durability when packaging Gore’s high-speed data cables or industry alternatives used in avionics and vetronics.
Our jacket systems can be terminated with M85049/88 connector backshells, adapters, and backshells with a similar banding platform.
