GORE® IDC Ribbon Cables: GTS Series for Smaller Spaces
Overview
1
In electronics with space constraints, our ribbon cables offer half the pitch size, and double the density, of traditional cables.

In electronics with space constraints, our ribbon cables offer half the pitch size, and double the density, of traditional cables.

In applications where space is at a premium — like avionics, board-to-board interconnects, peripherals, and mini- and micro-computers — cabling must be efficiently designed while still delivering failure-resistant performance.

The GTS series of GORE IDC (insulation displace connectors) Ribbon Cables provides space savings in these tight-fit applications. Each PTFE-insulated ribbon cable is .025" high density, able to solve a .050" pitch assembly crosstalk problem by adding a ground between each conductor in the same amount of space.

Additionally, these double-density cables are RoHS compliant, vacuum compatible and resistant to aging — allowing them to deliver space savings for the long haul.

Features & Benefits
1

Our space-saving, double-density cables feature:

  • .025" pitch
  • 30 AWG or 32 AWG conductors
  • conductor plating: silver, nickel or unplated
  • PTFE-insulated ribbon cable
  • RoHS compliant (2002/95/EC)
The .025” pitch of our ribbon cables solves the crosstalk problem seen in traditional .050” cables.

The .025” pitch of our ribbon cables solves the crosstalk problem seen in traditional .050” cables.

These features provide manufacturers and end users with a number of benefits over time, including:

  • space savings
  • optional signal density
  • compatibility with vacuums
  • resistance to aging
