GORE

Fiber Optic Cables (900 micron)

This version of Gore’s ﬁber optic cables provides a high level of crush

protection similar to the Simplex versions while drastically reducing shrink

back and the time required to terminate samples. These single-mode and

multi-mode cables deliver unfailing signal transmission with low optical

loss in rigorous maintenance and ﬂight conditions, ensuring lifetime

performance and lower total costs (Table 1).

Gore’s 900-micron optical ﬁber cables incorporate smaller, lighter weight,

and robust materials that are easy to route, making them an excellent

choice for inside-the-box applications.
