GORE

Aerospace High Speed Data Cables

GORE

Shielded Twisted Pair Cables

(Controlled Impedance, 100 Ohms)

Well-suited for aerospace harness applications, Gore’s cables utilize low-

voltage differential signals (LVDS). They deliver excellent signal integrity

with controlled impedance for data transmission lines at speeds up to

1 GHz (Table 1).

The combination of durable materials in this construction enables a higher

tolerance against typical aircraft conditions such as rapidly-changing

environments at high altitudes for extended service life (Figure 1).

Gore’s low-proﬁle conﬁguration also has a direct impact on saving weight

in aircraft. These cables are 30% smaller and 50% lighter when compared

to standard oval cables (Figure 2). When compared to alternative round

cables, Gore’s unique design is drastically smaller in size (Figure 3). This

smaller diameter allows for more ﬂexibility and easier routing in hard-to-

reach places of an airframe for improved installation.
