Overview
NON-STOP SIGNAL TRANSMISSION
Passengers expect to watch in-flight entertainment (IFE) and charge their portable devices quickly and easily when traveling. Aircrews expect to receive necessary flight information at all times. So aviation cables must be able to upload and download a lot of content and charge personal devices as fast as possible without disruptions.
GORE USB Cables meet these expectations and complex design requirements for small passenger at-seat modules. Meeting 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 protocols, each version delivers non-stop signal transmission up to 10 Gb/s, making sure high volumes of data and video are uploaded and downloaded instantly. These cable bundles also support the latest power management systems so aircrews and passengers can charge their portable electronic devices quickly and easily without delay.
STURDY PROTECTION FOR LIFE
Because aircraft environments can be rough on avionics, we build our power and data cable bundles with sturdy materials for added protection. They’re proven to withstand the harshest maintenance and flight conditions, like abrasion, chemicals, wide temperatures and more.
You can have peace of mind knowing that GORE USB Cables will perform long after alternatives have succumbed to demanding environments.
