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.

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.

W. L. Gore & Associates’ most popular Simplex cable reliably supports higher bandwidth requirements on data and video architectures up to 100+ Gb/s without signal interruption. This version is proven to guard against high-weight impact, crushing force, vibration, abrasion, extreme temperatures and more.

For 10+ up to 100 Gb/s avionics digital networks that require a higher level of cable durability, W. L. Gore & Associates meets the demand with GORE Fiber Optic Cables, 1.8 mm Simplex for Defense Aircraft. These rugged cables exceed stricter EN4641-301 and JN1177 requirements for more durability primarily intended for larger, more rugged cable designs. Our aircraft cables protect against high weight impact, crushing force, shock, vibration and fluctuating temperatures experienced in extreme defense environments.
