Avionics and vectronics require high-performance wires and cables that can deliver superior signals and fast data transmission speeds, even in demanding conditions. W. L. Gore & Associates offers a portfolio of solutions that fulfill those needs while reducing weight, installation complexities and overall costs.

A premier solution for copper-based IEEE 1394b FireWire data links, W. L. Gore & Associates offers quadrax cables for defense and commercial aircraft. They withstand extreme conditions without damage over system life, transmitting high-fidelity signals and uninterrupted data with flexure at S400 data rates.

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.

From lifetime mechanical protection to straightforward, expedited installation in aircraft and armed vehicles, W. L. Gore & Associates offers state-of-the-art cable technology. This pioneering cable jacket with added ruggedness is lighter, thinner and more flexible with tighter bending.

For packaging sensitive copper wires and fiber optics, W. L. Gore & Associates brings an outer jacket system built with crush- and abrasion-resistant materials proven to protect against the harshest conditions from installation, maintenance and operation.

High-definition video is essential for avionics and vectronics, from critical displays in cockpits and combat vehicles to cabin displays for entertainment. These low-weight cable bundles from W. L. Gore & Associates reliably support 4K video interfaces for a richer viewing experience.

To keep critical systems functioning at all times, W. L. Gore & Associates offers sturdy cable bundles that deliver non-stop signals ensuring high-volume data and video are uploaded and downloaded instantly. They also support the latest power management systems and quickly charge portable devices.
