During launches and missions, reducing the total mass of a spacecraft is essential to add more payload and fit more critical systems and subsystems. W. L. Gore & Associates meets the challenge with the smallest, lightest low earth orbit (LEO) wires and cables qualified to ESCC 3901/026 specifications and registered on the ESA Qualified Parts List (QPL).

Read the interview with Greg Powers, Gore Global Market Leader for Aerospace and Defense, about the company's solutions for high-performance digital and microwave connectivity, and other products.

W. L. Gore & Associates developed the following procedures based on our best practices for terminating GORE® Aerospace Ethernet Cables with the MIL-DTL-38999 General Purpose Connector System, including both plug and receptacle versions. By following these steps, you can maximize the performance of your assembly in avionics networks, cabin management systems, digital video systems, Ethernet backbones and other aviation networking applications, although final results may vary depending on your application. Gore cannot guarantee signal integrity, however, due to the wide variety of configurations and application-specific conditions that are possible with this connector system. Please test your design under actual operating conditions to ensure their effectiveness, and contact Gore for additional information.

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.
