Gore streamlines manufacturing processes for high-speed data cables
Pleinfeld, Germany. W. L. Gore & Associates Inc. announced it has recently upgraded its site manufacturing infrastructure in New Garden, PA, significantly reducing product delivery time to OEMs and end users. The company said Gore Aerospace High Speed Data Cables for commercial and military aircraft applications are now available with short lead times. Gore and WireMasters, an authorized distributor, can ship complimentary samples within two business days from the date of the request. As a result, OEMs can validate and support low-rate production using Gore’s standard products in their specific applications with lower technical and business risks to their programs.
“We’re excited about streamlining our business offerings with more efficient ordering and manufacturing processes to deliver reliable solutions quickly to our customers,” said Adrian Milne, global product specialist for Gore’s Civil Aerospace team. “We know commercial and military aircraft customers want to avoid technical risks and schedule delays to meet program objectives.”
Gore offers a variety of high-speed copper and fiber-optic solutions that support the latest open-source architectures and standardized protocols, such as USB, HDMI, Ethernet, and Fiber Optics Simplex. They deliver life-long performance in small, lightweight, flexible, and routable designs. These cables have undergone substantial qualification testing to ensure they meet stringent specifications of current industry standards and customer requirements. For Ethernet Cat6a protocol, Gore’s cables exceed requirements and are approved to the Society for Automotive and Aerospace Engineers (SAE) AS6070 standards and are on the Qualified Products List (QPL).
Customers can fill out a short form to receive complimentary samples. Gore’s full line of high-performance aerospace solutions will also be on display April 10-12 at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg, Germany.
