In any defense scenario, high-speed data cables must maintain stable communication on avionics networks to ensure the mission and aircrews are never at risk.

GORE Shielded Twisted Pair Cables utilize low-voltage differential signals (LVDS) with controlled impedance for data transmission lines at speeds up to 1 GHz. No matter the conditions inside or outside the aircraft, our cables ensure reliable performance for a successful mission every time. That’s because the combination of durable materials in their construction enables a higher tolerance against the harshest environments, like rapid changes in temperatures encountered during take-off and landing.

Our shielded twisted pair cables work well in aerospace harness applications because of their high flexibility and easy routability in hard-to-reach places of airframes. The low-dielectric cable configuration is 30% smaller, which reduces overall weight by as much as 50% when compared to standard configurations. If you compare our design side by side with alternative designs, you’ll see that our cable is drastically smaller.

Our cables’ superior electrical performance can also reduce the need for additional signal amplification in your system architecture, decreasing weight and power requirements even more.
