Overview
NON-STOP SIGNAL TRANSFER
The success of any mission depends greatly on ground forces receiving critical information immediately without any signal or data glitches. They also need to charge their portable devices as fast as possible without interruptions.
Available in 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 versions, GORE USB Cables offer nonstop signal transmission up to 10 Gb without failure. They make sure high volumes of data and video are uploaded and downloaded instantly, so ground forces get real-time Intel.
All versions of our cable bundles also support the latest power management systems so warfighters can comfortably charge carry-on devices quickly, easily and without delays.
LIFETIME PROTECTION
The battlefield can be extremely challenging for power and data cables, exposing them and sensitive components to grueling conditions. So for added protection, we manufacturer our USB cables with engineered fluoropolymer materials proven to deliver a lifetime of service. They can easily tolerate the most harmful land and in-vehicle conditions.
As a bonus, our unique materials are lightweight and meet complex design requirements for soldier-worn systems, which means they won’t weigh down soldiers. They also won’t add unwanted weight to vehicles when connected to vectronics.
You can trust that sturdy, lightweight GORE USB Cables for defense land systems will perform without failure and last long after the alternatives have surrendered to the environment.
