Gore’s most popular Simplex cables can easily accommodate the aerospace
industry’s bandwidth-intensive requirements in a robust package compared
to standard alternatives (Table 1). This award-winning version is offered in
a range of single-mode and multi-mode core types that support the next
generation of aircraft data architecture.
The innovative buffering system in the construction of this Simplex version
is proven to resist high impact, crushing, abrasion, vibration, shock, and
kinking while maintaining reliable signals (Figure 1). The combination
of Gore’s unique cable materials also increases fiber movement under
compression that improves termination with standard aerospace and
defense connector systems.
With an exceptional balance of properties, Gore’s 1.8 mm Simplex cables
deliver improved reliability and longevity in a more robust construction
without sacrificing size or weight.
