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.

Extreme aerospace conditions can compromise the performance of airframe cable assemblies. Aside from the challenges of installation, rigorous flight conditions bring rapid temperature and pressure changes, as well as potential contamination from fuels, oils and fluids. Maintaining signal integrity in these tough environments is essential to ensuring the reliability of an aircraft’s sophisticated electronic systems.

GORE-FLIGHT® Microwave Assemblies for Aircraft are lightweight, durable and proven to improve fuel efficiency and increase payload while reducing operating costs.

Modern civil and military aircraft depend on quality microwave assemblies like those produced by W. L. Gore & Associates for reliable performance. Yet the challenges of installation in tight airframe environments can often degrade lower-quality cables, requiring replacement long before the expected end of life. In Gore’s White Paper: Reducing Life Cycle Costs with Reliable Airframe Microwave Assemblies, we take a closer look at how higher-quality cable assemblies deliver lower costs, greater productivity, and a host of additional benefits.

When choosing military aircraft components, lasting performance is always a top consideration. Yet while many cables perform dependably prior to installation, the challenges of routing leave them damaged and ill-prepared for the rigors of the aircraft’s flight envelope. That’s why W. L. Gore & Associates developed an installation simulator to prove their microwave assemblies delivered the same reliability before and after installation.

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.

Approved for use on the F-16 defense aircraft, Gore’s aerospace solutions are available in microwave assemblies and high-speed data cables. Learn more from W. L. Gore & Associates.

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.
