Small, lightweight coaxial cables from Gore operate up to extremely high frequencies (EHF) and deliver excellent signal performance long after installation. With greater flexibility, they’re proven to survive challenging routing without breaking or failing for less aircraft downtime, more payload options and total costs to the military.
Commonly used in the industry, standard semi-rigid cable assemblies can lead to avoidable issues. For one, they are stiff and difficult to route in confined spaces, potentially leading to frequent cable failure. They are also challenging to replace, often resulting in costly configuration drawings and cumbersome, time-consuming installation procedures.
Inside-the-box and between-the-box systems often use traditionally designed RG or semi-rigid aircraft cable assemblies that are hard to route in smaller areas. They’re known to fail frequently and are difficult to replace because they usually involve costly configuration drawings and time-consuming installation procedures requiring longer aircraft downtime.
The defense sector needs a more flexible, electrically stable aircraft RF cable option that won’t break or fail during routing to keep aircraft in operation longer and save money overall.
Unlike traditionally designed choices, GORE Microwave/RF Assemblies offer small, extremely flexible options proven to survive rigorous handling and routing in the tightest configurations.
