Gore & Associates’ GORE® Microwave/RF Assemblies, 7 Series for Defense Aircraft are specifically designed for airframe microwave interconnect needs. These vapor-sealed cable assemblies are backed by comprehensive qualification data to support product claims.

Examines the constraints that may have an impact on cable performance, and the process involved in selecting the right materials based on sufficient testing to verify cables will survive in harsh environments.

The importance of a microwave cable assembly’s shielding effectiveness cannot be understated. Across defense, civil, and aerospace applications, it impacts the system performance of the aircraft and could impede upon data transmission capabilities.

Weight savings is an important design and modernization consideration for civil and defense aircraft to increase payload, fuel efficiency, range, and time on station. Gore offers a variety of solutions that reduce the size and weight of microwave/RF cable assemblies, and high-speed copper and fiber optic cables.

Gore part numbers consist of a minimum of 12 and a maximum of 15 alphanumeric characters. Groupings of these characters have a specific meaning.

SMA, 3.5 mm and 2.92 mm connectors make reliable, RF components and instrumentation possible. These seemingly mundane devices are the result of evolutionary and revolutionary design, covering a 40-year period and involving several corporations. In their present state, they represent highly evolved, well-defined interface systems.
