GORE® Space Cables, Type ASW
Our anti-static wire features unique materials that effectively drain static electricity and reliably protect vital interconnects from short-circuiting.
Effectively Drain Static Electricity
GORE® Space Cables, Type ASW, have conductive or semi-conductive jacket materials that durably protect against static build-up over time, eliminating short circuits in vital interconnects. Flexible and lightweight, they’re perfect for critical systems that require constant wire and cable movement in LEO and GEO environments.
Durable & Flexible Anti-Static Wires
Highlighting specialized materials, Type ASW of GORE Space Cables provides several features and benefits that ensure successful missions like:
- durable protection against static electricity that builds up over time
- eliminates short-circuiting in vital interconnects operating in moving systems
- resists wide temperatures, ATOX, chemicals, abrasion and more
- distributes reliable high voltage power up to 600 Vrms
- reduces total launch mass for more spacecraft weight savings
- easier installation with highly flexible, lightweight construction
