A diverse product portfolio to meet all your military needs
GORE® Cables and Materials
It is essential
for electronic
systems to
communicate
reliably and
accurately; and
cables are the
lifeline of these
systems.
Improvements in technology —
from satellite communications
and radar systems to
navigational aids and weapon
telemetry — are all driving the
demand to update military
vehicles. Also, tighter budgets
mean that vehicles need to
remain in the field longer and
require less maintenance and
downtime to reduce life-cycle
costs. Understanding these
challenges and how they are
changing is the only way to
ensure mission-critical success.
We are here to collaborate with
you to optimize your system
performance so soldiers can
focus on their mission and not
their equipment or vehicles.
Ensure Durable Performance
Mechanical, electrical, and
environmental stress factors
can easily affect the performance
of cables and materials
throughout the vehicle. For
example, harsh contaminants,
severe weather conditions,
and extreme temperature and
pressure changes can have a
direct impact on the materials
used in the construction of
cables.
Also, they can be easily
compromised by abrasion from
continuous movement through
tight areas causing damaged
insulation that can lead to
failures over time. Therefore,
cables and materials need to
be more durable and flexible
for easier routing to ensure they
do not break during rigorous
installation or operation.
Deliver Mission Assurance
Design engineers are integrating
sophisticated electronics
into almost every system in
military vehicles. It is essential
for electronic systems to
communicate reliably and
accurately, and cables are
the lifeline of these systems.
Electromagnetic interference can
compromise signal integrity over
long distances and reduce the
quality of signal transmission.
Also, higher data rate systems
require greater attention to
all electrical parameters such as
impedance control, attenuation,
crosstalk, and EMI. Therefore,
cables need to be more
dependable to ensure optimal
system performance in any
warfare situation.
Reduce Life-Cycle Costs
In today’s competitive military
environment, owning and
operating a land vehicle needs
to be more affordable, which
means they need to remain in
the field longer and maintenance
needs to cost less and take less
time.
More instrumentation means
that space, weight, and
performance (SWaP) are more
of a challenge. Therefore, cables
and materials need to be smaller
and lighter weight without
compromising electrical and
mechanical integrity to reduce
rework and re-testing of cables,
maintenance delays, and cable
replacement costs.
Lead the Mission with Gore as Your Partner
GORE® Cables and Materials
Gore Products Optimize System Performance Now and Over Time in Military Land Vehicles
Our commitment to innovation is based on a thorough understanding of materials and how they interact with their environment.
GORE® Cables and Materials meet the military’s
complex functional needs by delivering reliable,
long-lasting performance. Our products are engineered
specifically to withstand extreme weather conditions,
fluctuating temperatures, pressure changes, exposure
to abrasion and wear, repeated mechanical stress,
high voltages and harsh contaminants such as fuels,
oils, and chemicals. Whether you need high-speed
data cables, high power data cables or high-frequency
microwave/RF assemblies, you can be confident that
our products deliver failure-free performance over the
life of your land vehicle.
Ensure Durable PerformanceThroughout the entire military vehicle, Gore’s products are
engineered with a rugged insulation that withstands the
mechanical stress of installation and combat operations. They
provide higher cut-through resistance for greater mechanical
strength and abrasion resistance for durable protection. They
also withstand extreme cold and heat, pressure changes, the
wind, sandstorms, driving rain, sleet and heavy snow, and
harmful contaminants. Our cables and materials have been
fully tested and proven to guarantee lifelong performance.
Deliver Mission AssuranceOptimized for high performance, Gore’s products ensure
outstanding signal integrity and consistent power delivery in
the harsh and demanding environments routinely encountered
by military forces worldwide. They maintain unfailing performance
even when exposed to repeated mechanical stress from
installation, vibration, operation and maintenance. Our broad
portfolio of cables and cable assemblies deliver faster data
transmission with optimized shielding for the highest bandwidth
and lowest skew. They also deliver the lowest insertion loss before
and after installation, and over time.
Reduce Life-Cycle CostsGore’s innovative fluoropolymer technologies deliver solutions
— round and flat — that are significantly smaller with thinner
insulation, providing the maximum level of protection and
performance. Our products are smaller and lighter weight with
some up to 70 percent when compared to industry alternatives.
They also have greater flexibility with a tight bend radius making
initial routing easier, particularly when retrofitting cables in
overcrowded areas surrounding electronic systems. All of which
translates to reduced life cycle costs and increased affordability
for the military.
In a small, lightweight, flexible and routable package, GORE® Ethernet Cables deliver excellent signal integrity for high-speed data transmission over longer distances that exceed Cat6a requirements.
GORE® HDMI Cables enable a higher video resolution for increased clarity and deliver faster signals over longer distances. Now military personnel can view system displays in ultra high definition.
With a unique dual buffering system, GORE® Fiber Optic Cables provide added durability without sacrificing size or weight while maintaining exceptional signal integrity before and after installation, and over time.
GORE® USB Cables carry more data over greater distances for faster content uploads and downloads while supporting the latest power management systems for portable devices.
With low-profile design that is more flexible than standard cables, GORE® Shielded Twisted Pair Cables deliver outstanding high-speed data transmission in the toughest conditions.
GORE® Fiber Optic Ribbon Cables provide enhanced mechanical protection and deliver uninterrupted signal transmission for extended service life and lower total costs.
GORE® Cables and Materials
Using the field cancellation properties of a balanced design, GORE® Fibre Channel Cables maintain consistent signal integrity while enhancing noise immunity and EMI suppression.
GORE® Round Cables are a high-flex hybrid option with high EMI/RFI shielding capabilities for robust protection. They deliver exceptionally fast signal speeds that exceed 85 percent of the speed of light.
By preventing the ingress of water vapor, fuel, and other hazardous contaminants, GORE® Microwave/RF Assemblies maintain low insertion loss, low return loss, and phase stability over the vehicle’s life.
Halogen-free GORE® Hook-Up Wires maintain consistent signal integrity in less space while providing greater mechanical strength with abrasion- and cut-through resistant and low-creep wire insulation.
