Cable Protection Systems

Built with crush- and abrasion-resistant materials, Gore’s durable cable

systems provide some of the highest levels of protection available in the

industry today (Table 1). They meet the demands of aircraft OEMs and

system suppliers requiring more protection for packaging copper wires

and fiber optics in small, lightweight and routable designs. These cable

in airframes. Gore’s highly flexible designs offer tighter bending capability

that allows copper and fiber to be routed without exceeding the minimum

bend radius eliminating over bending. Installers will find it quicker and

easier to route copper and fiber packaged with Gore’s cable protection

systems in less space without having to worry about breakage or failure.
