Overview

ESTABLISHED SOLUTION FROM A HERITAGE SUPPLIER

Low and medium earth orbit environments require cables to perform under considerable stress that can risk their crucial ability to transmit data, compromising launch vehicle and satellite systems. The emerging NewSpace industry needs durable cables that continue to perform reliability so we can stay connected and monitor the earth. Government and commercial companies also need affordable cables manufactured quickly to meet demanding program schedules.

By combining extensive materials expertise with decades of proven traditional spaceflight heritage, Gore offers a reliable, affordable high data rate solution delivered fast for NewSpace applications.

HIGH-QUALITY SIGNALS IN A DURABLE DESIGN

GORE Shielded Twisted Pair Cables are purpose-built for dataline applications like high-resolution cameras, digital signal processors, onboard computing and more. They carry high-quality signals reliably and accurately at data transmission speeds up to 1 GHz. These cables offer balanced lines with controlled impedance at 100 ohms. Their serial, point-to-point datalines with LVDS (low-voltage differential signaling) also support ECSS-E-ST-50-12C and TIA-644-A requirements.

But, we don’t compromise on the strength of our cables either. They’re constructed with unique fluoropolymer materials that can endure extreme conditions, like shock, vibration, chemicals, radiation, extreme temperature ranges and more. Yet our materials are lighter weight to help meet challenging mass budgets and tighter installation paths.

From launch to orbit to re-entry into earth’s atmosphere, GORE Shielded Twisted Pair Cables ensure lifelong protection and performance so that critical systems can continue functioning at all times.
