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.

Military aircraft operate with more electronic systems than ever before. With so many complex systems in place, it’s essential to prioritize quality Ethernet cables built to withstand the challenges of aerospace environments and rapidly transmit data across greater distances without interference. Learn how GORE® Ethernet Cables from W. L. Gore & Associates meet and exceed current standards for electrical, environmental, and mechanical performance with White Paper: Selecting the Right Ethernet Cables to Increase High-Speed Data Transmission in Military Aircraft.

Defense aircraft applications continue to demand the new, advanced capabilities being implemented in modern avionics. As a result, an increasing number of designers are learning that standard commercial Ethernet connectors and cables aren’t adequate for operation in harsh aerospace conditions. In this white paper, W. L. Gore & Associates evaluates the top considerations designers must make when designing the right Ethernet interconnect and ensuring reliable high-speed data transmission in military aircraft.

As the sophistication of electronic systems increases, so do the number of high-speed interconnects required by manned and unmanned aircraft. While many available Ethernet interconnects provide reliable performance in the lab, W. L. Gore & Associates has created an installation simulator to ensure high-speed data transmission with optimal signal integrity and the durability needed for the rigors of airframe routing.

Today’s civil and military aircraft require higher bandwidth, controlled-impedance interconnects using 10 Gb/s Ethernet and other high data rate protocols. But, there are risks when using standard MIL-DTL-38999 connector systems to meet newer, more demanding high-speed data transmission requirements in avionics.

Weight savings is an important design and modernization consideration for civil and defense aircraft to increase payload, fuel efficiency, range, and time on station. Gore offers a variety of solutions that reduce the size and weight of microwave/RF cable assemblies, and high-speed copper and fiber optic cables.

Hydrogen holds the key to a clean energy future. It is a critical catalyst in our transition from fossil fuels to a more sustainable, low-carbon global energy future. Learn more about the role of an ePTFE-reinforced Polymer Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) in the Automotive Fuel Cell Market by reading the white paper.

This paper explores how several producers’ use of new efficient, low-resistance filter media has increased the capacity of their systems 20% and more, improving their meltshop environmental quality. Economic and technical considerations are explored, together with impacts and considerations on a plant’s environmental permitting.

This paper will explore the operational results of an installation of new low resistance filter media at the Steel Dynamics Inc. - VA (SDI-VA) plant, which resulted a significant reduction in electrical energy used by the APC system.

When it comes to long-length microwave coaxial assemblies, their phase/loss stability and repeatability, as well as shielding effectiveness, have historically not been well documented. This is largely due to the low demand for these types of assemblies and lack of standardized testing procedures. Published by W. L. Gore & Associates, White Paper: Phase Stability, Loss Stability and Shielding Effectiveness of Long Length provides some much-needed insights into this type of equipment to help operators, engineers and manufacturers find the right extended-length solutions.
