GORE® Shielded Twisted Pair Cables for Aerospace & Defense
Our durable, low-profile cables meet today’s higher data rate requirements with controlled impedance, saving valuable weight in wire & harness applications.
Fast, Durable Solutions That Offer More Weight Savings
GORE® Shielded Twisted Pair Cables can transfer data and video at speeds up to 1 GHz, tolerating mechanical stresses and environmental factors like changing climate zones, constant vibration and rigorous routing. Smaller than alternative round designs, our cables are more flexible and routable in hard-to-reach places.
30% smaller
Our STP cables are designed with a low-profile configuration that’s 30% smaller, reducing their overall weight by as much as 27% compared to standard oval cables.
Durable & Lightweight
Unlike standard oval or alternative round versions, GORE Shielded Twisted Pair Cables are engineered with unique features that make them more durable against harsh maintenance and operational environments, including:
- abrasion- and temperature-resistant materials
- chemically inert, polyimide-free materials
- lightweight construction with smaller diameters
