GORE Cable Protective Braids
Our space cable braids provide durable protection in extreme temperatures and enhance EMI suppression for reliable signal integrity while enabling tight installations.
Durable Protection from Spacecraft Temperature Extremes
GORE Cable Protective Braids installed over our space cable bundles protect sensitive wires from extreme temperatures and enhance EMI suppression, ensuring reliable signal integrity. Our high-strength braids are also smaller and more flexible than competitors for easier routing in tight spacecraft areas.
Featuring a unique expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) material, GORE Cable Protective Braids installed over GORE Space Cables provide features and benefits like:
- high-strength protection against extreme temperatures
- enhanced EMI suppression for less emissions
- improved signal integrity and reliability from launch through mission duration
- easier installation in tight areas with smaller, more flexible construction
GORE Cable Protective Braids provide high-strength protection when packaging Gore’s selection of space cables operating in the following environments:
- low-earth orbit (LEO)
- geostationary earth orbit (GEO)
- deep space
