The High Flex GFX617 cable series is often used in linear motion, inspection, and pick-and-place applications.

Ground forces are contemplating vehicle electrification to simplify maintenance and reduce logistical problems with fossil fuels. But electrification means increasing voltages to avoid weight gain in wiring systems. These higher voltages put more stress on wires and risk damage. W. L. Gore & Associates is on duty with an optimal solution to these challenges.

Current EWIS may not fulfill next-gen aviation requirements or address future aircraft electrification. Voltages are increasing to avoid weight gain but also put more electrical stress and risk damage to wiring. W. L. Gore & Associates offers an optimal solution featuring proven durability to ensure EWIS reliability over time.

Qualified and tested to meet strict defense industry standards, W. L. Gore & Associates’ GORE® Microwave/RF Assemblies, 7 Series for Defense Aircraft are specifically designed for airframe microwave interconnect needs. These vapor-sealed cable assemblies are backed by comprehensive qualification data to support product claims.

For avionics requiring a coax cable with controlled impedance at 50 ohms, W. L. Gore & Associates offers a direct replacement for standard RG400 cables. They deliver lifetime signal transmission up to 3 GHz in aircraft with significant weight savings compared to RG400 cables.

This version from W. L Gore & Associates operates reliably up to 6 GHz with controlled impedance while saving valuable weight and reducing operating costs. Our coax cables are ideal for high-tech systems with countless sensors installed in passenger airliners or military aircraft and vehicles.
