W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) introduces GORE Ethernet Cables to meet the civil aerospace industry's emerging need for higher data rate cables in a lightweight, flexible, and routable package. Engineered for the demands of modern airborne digital networks, GORE Ethernet Cables provide high-speed data transmission up to 10 gigabits over longer distances. They provide excellent signal integrity with stable performance in demanding environments, including a wide range of temperatures. These cables are available in two standard sizes – 24 AWG and 26 AWG.

GORE Ethernet Cables feature a unique cable jacket material and high-density construction that significantly reduces weight and diameter for improved installation. This connector insert is a direct replacement for current quadrax technology that allows for up to 20 times the data in the same space. “Being able to directly replace a size 8 quadrax connector within an ARINC 600 or 38999 shell with the Gore 10GbE product combined with a Glenair, Inc. El Ochito connector allows for a dramatic increase in data capability within the same form factor,” says Jeremy Moore, Application Engineer at Gore. The unique cable jacket material provides the ideal combination of high speed and lighter weight necessary for a wide range of aerospace applications.
