Supporting system designers and engineers, W. L. Gore & Associates’ ribbon cables are manufactured with rugged materials proven to withstand the volatile conditions experienced by aircraft and military vehicles everywhere. They maintain high-speed communications up to 12 channels on avionics and vectronics digital networks.

In a small, light size and rugged construction, this version from W. L. Gore & Associates offers easy routing, greater shrink-back reduction and shorter sample termination times with a similar level of crush resistance as our other Simplex cables to protect sensitive components.

Advanced systems in aircraft and armored vehicles depend on reliable high-bandwidth data and video cables. Designed for complex airborne and defense digital network applications, this version from W. L. Gore & Associates balances mechanical strength with a slim, lightweight design accommodating tight installation paths.

From advanced digital networks to video systems, safe, efficient operation demands high-speed data transfer without interruption. This version from W. L. Gore & Associates has a smaller form factor that maintains data transfer speeds up to 1 GHz and exceeds crosstalk requirements in challenging environments.

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.

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.

As chips become smaller and more powerful, higher levels of process cleanliness and data rates continue to increase in semiconductor and FPD equipment. W. L. Gore & Associates offers proven solutions with more durability, flexibility and reliability that solve these complex issues to increase throughput and yield, reduce maintenance and total costs, and be ready for the future.

In critical filter applications, membrane technology from W. L. Gore & Associates assures repeatable high performance, consistent quality and exceptional cleanliness. GORE Microfiltration Media offers the highest retention and flow unmatched by other filtration material suppliers. Our ePTFE-based membranes deliver high chemical and thermal resistance, along with extreme resistance to shedding.

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.
