high speed data cables GORE® Aerospace Ethernet Cables The military aerospace industry is moving away from proprietary networks to open-source architectures and standardized protocols. Therefore, Gore manufacturers a variety of Ethernet cables that provide system architects and engineers with many benefits such as small size, reduced weight, and lifelong performance (Figures 1 and 2). In addition, Gore’s Ethernet cables provide customers with several benefits, including: • Commercial off-the-shelf products based on established technologies • Short lead times for selected samples, prototype...

Gore offers a variety of standard Ethernet cables that meet stringent military aircraft and performance requirements (Table 1). Table 1: Gore’s Standard Ethernet Cables

high speed data cables GORE® Aerospace Ethernet Cables (4 Pairs, Cat6a) Gore’s cables are engineered for the increasing data demands of modern airborne digital networks (Figure 3). They exceed Cat6a electrical requirements and deliver excellent signal integrity with sufficient margin for high-speed data transmission up to 10 gigabits (Table 2). This award-winning Cat6a version is approved to SAE AS6070™ standards and on the Qualified Products List (QPL). In addition, the unique design of these cables is 24 percent smaller and 25 percent lighter than standard Cat6a cables and proven to save...
