Requirements

This version of Gore’s quadrax cables is the premier solution for copper-

based IEEE 1394b FireWire

data links. They transmit uninterrupted high-

ﬁdelity signals with ﬂexure for interconnect solutions up to 30 m (100 ft)

at S400 data transfer rates (Table 1).

Built with durable materials that are highly ﬂexible, Gore’s cables provide

a protective barrier against tough environments for long-term product life

(Figure 1).

Also, Gore’s quadrax design is approximately 40% smaller than dual

twisted pair constructions (Figure 2). These cables are also proven to save

as much as 5.2 kg (11.5 lb) per aircraft.
