At the 2017 AIX (Aircraft Interiors Expo) in Hamburg, Germany on 4^th-6^th April in booth 2D60, W. L. Gore & Associates (Gore) will display its expanded portfolio of GORE Aerospace Fiber Optic Cables for civil aircraft applications. Gore’s family of single- and multi-mode fibre optic cables meets the civil aerospace industry’s need for reliable high-speed data transmission in smaller, lighter weight, yet durable constructions. They transmit lightning-fast data in less time over longer distances to support the next-gen of aircraft data architecture.

Engineered for the harshest aerospace environments, Gore’s robust fibre optic cables resist crushing, kinking and abrasion while delivering signal integrity before and after installation. The small cable diameter increases flexibility with a tight bend radius making initial routing easier, particularly when retrofitting cables in overcrowded areas surrounding aircraft electronic systems.

An expanded portfolio
With a dual buffering system, GORE Aerospace Fiber Optic Cables, 1.8mm Simplex meet ARINC 802-2 requirements and are proven to provide greater crush resistance for extended service life. Gore’s legacy 1.2mm Simplex cables incorporate a variety of optical fibres in a rugged construction compatible with standard aerospace connectors. Gore’s 900µ buffered fibre optic cables allow for a smaller form factor preferable for inside-the-box applications while still being compatible with standard ARINC 801 termini. Lastly, GORE Aerospace Fiber Optic Ribbon Cables provide durable, long-lasting protection with up to 12 channels while maintaining high-speed communications on aircraft networks.

Gore’s expanded portfolio of fibre optic cables complements its extensive collection of aerospace cables and materials, including Ethernet, USB, HDMI, high frequency microwave airframe assemblies and aircraft sealants.
