Examines the constraints that may have an impact on cable performance, and the process involved in selecting the right materials based on sufficient testing to verify cables will survive in harsh environments.

Listed below are global distributors authorized to supply bulk wires and cables manufactured by W. L. Gore & Associates. We offer an extensive portfolio of proven trustworthy products that has served many industries since the 1950s — including defense air and land, spaceflight, civil air, semiconductor and microelectronics and more.

Gore provides high-performance cable assemblies with significant mechanical and electrical advantages for high-flex applications in aerospace and defense, spaceflight, semiconductor, and test and measurement environments.

SMA, 3.5 mm and 2.92 mm connectors make reliable, RF components and instrumentation possible. These seemingly mundane devices are the result of evolutionary and revolutionary design, covering a 40-year period and involving several corporations. In their present state, they represent highly evolved, well-defined interface systems.

The importance of a microwave cable assembly’s shielding effectiveness cannot be understated. Across defense, civil, and aerospace applications, it impacts the system performance of the aircraft and could impede upon data transmission capabilities.

If you determine that your system may be affected by PIM distortion, there are a few basic guidelines you can use to minimize PIM generation.

GORE® Spaceflight Cables are engineered to withstand the severe levels of radiation found in many satellite applications.

Unless otherwise specified, every GORE® Microwave/RF Coaxial Assembly is 100% tested, inspected, and certified to meet the acceptance requirements contained in all applicable specifications, whether stated in literature or in pre-approved customer contracts.

For both Spaceflight and Non-Spaceflight applications.
