Gore Ethernet cables offer high data rates for civil aerospace applications
W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) introduces GORE Ethernet Cables to meet the civil aerospace industry’s emerging need for higher data rate cables in a lightweight, flexible, and routable package. Engineered for the demands of modern airborne digital networks, they provide high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gbit over longer distances. They provide excellent signal integrity with […]
Online calculator for microwave/RF cable assembly selection
W. L. Gore & Associates, Landenberg, Pa., has introduced an online tool designed to complement its existing GORE Microwave/RF Assembly Builder. The new GORE Microwave/RF Assembly Calculator is used to calculate insertion loss, VSWR and other parameters of GORE Microwave/RF Assemblies for different cable types. The online calculator is easy to use, particularly when the initial […]
Gore expands 6-series microwave assemblies for size 8 RF contacts
W. L. Gore & Associates Inc., Landenberg, Pa., has introduced a smaller diameter cable to further enhance the Gore-Flight Microwave Assembly, 6 Series portfolio. This new cable solution delivers the lowest insertion loss for an assembly using Size 8 RF contacts. Insertion loss is maintained during and after installation, ensuring reliable performance for the life […]
Cable Installation Simulator Ensures Microwave Assembly Performance
Military aircraft manufacturers have accepted the practice of replacing microwave assemblies because they get damaged during installation in airframe platforms. Damaged airframe assemblies can lead to compromised signal integrity and failures over time, especially when exposed to normal flight conditions combining rapid changes in temperature and pressure with potential contamination from fuel, oils and fluids. […]
An introduction to flat cables
Three common types of flat, flexible cables exist—extruded Flexx-Sil, Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and molded flat cables. They all have their history from ribbon cables, which were developed for early mainframe computers in 1956 by Cicoil. Like a piece of thin band cloth ribbon, a ribbon cable is a type of cable that is flat, wide and […]
Shielded, twisted pair cables for high-speed data transmission
Gore Shielded twisted pair cables from W. L. Gore & Associates, Landenberg, Pa., are constructed with uniquely engineered fluoropolymers to significantly reduce weight while maintaining reliable signal integrity for the most demanding environments of civil and military aerospace applications. These cables maintain high-speed communication between avionics transmitters and receivers and meet the performance requirements of […]
Space flight assemblies offer high shielding, signal integrity
A new line of 5G series Gore Spaceflight Microwave/RF assemblies from W.L. Gore & Associates is optimized for Ka-band uplink and downlink satellite applications. They provide outstanding shielding effectiveness and ensure reliable signal integrity with excellent insertion loss and return loss performance up to 32 GHz. They have been qualified for spaceflight applications in three […]
Antenna cables allow in-flight wireless connections
Staying connected in-flight is important to business travelers, but to do so, they most often need a wired handset rather than their own devices. To make it easier for travelers to connect, Dassault Aviation will use W. L. Gore & Associates’ Gore Leaky Feeder Antenna for its Falcon 7X jet. The Leaky Feeder Antenna will […]
