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
protection systems can routinely tolerate complicated routing and harsh
flight conditions such as fluctuating temperatures and severe vibration.
Quick & Easy Installation
Within GORE
®
Cable Protection Systems, copper and fiber can float freely
without getting damaged during installation in cable runs and sharp edges
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.
