LIFETIME MECHANICAL PROTECTION

The battlefield can be extremely challenging for power and data cables, exposing them and sensitive components to grueling conditions. For added protection, we manufacture our cable bundles with engineered fluoropolymer materials proven to deliver a lifetime of service. They can easily tolerate the most harmful conditions, like extreme temperatures, abrasion, chemicals and more

You can trust that sturdy GORE USB Cables will perform without failure and last long after the alternatives have surrendered to harsh environments.
