White Paper: Selecting the Right Ethernet Cables to Increase High-Speed Data Transmission in Civil Aircraft

Choosing the right high-speed cables is critical for avionics and in-flight entertainment. A cable that works today may not meet future demands. GORE® High-Speed Cables deliver reliable data transmission, future-ready performance, and durability for modern aerospace systems.

White Paper: Installing the Right Ethernet Interconnect to Ensure Reliable Performance in Defense Aircraft

Gore evaluated the durability and electrical performance of several Ethernet Cat6A cables before and after routing, all with similar specifications. Gore also evaluated the electrical performance of the same cables at various lengths terminated with a leading high-speed connector system (i.e., daisy chaining). Testing showed the importance of installing the right Ethernet interconnect that delivers reliable electrical and mechanical performance for high-speed data transmission in real-world conditions to ensure mission-critical success.

White Paper: Designing the Right Ethernet Interconnect to Increase High-Speed Data Transmission in Defense Aircraft

Gore evaluated the designs and electrical characteristics of several leading high-speed connector systems to help designers choose the best option for a specific application. Gore also evaluated the electrical performance of GORE® Ethernet Cables (4 Pairs) for Cat6A protocol terminated with these leading connectors. Testing showed the importance of designing the right Ethernet interconnect that delivers excellent mechanical and electrical performance for high-speed data transmission in challenging aerospace conditions to ensure mission-critical success.
