Overview
HIGH-BANDWIDTH SIGNALS
With higher bandwidth requirements rising, aerospace fiber optic cables must transfer lots of data and video reliably so aircrew can maintain communication and react accordingly to the situation at hand. Cables also must be smaller and lighter to fit in limited aircraft areas.
GORE Fiber Optic Cables offer various Simplex and ribbon versions with single- and multi-mode core types up to OM5 to meet your specific application needs. Delivering strong signals, each version of our military aircraft fiber optics can easily accommodate bandwidth-intensive requirements to support next-gen aircraft data and video architecture.
IMPRESSIVE LEVEL OF ROBUSTNESS
We offer a higher level of fiber optic cable protection that shields the core. They’re proven to guard against rigorous installation, crushing force, high-intensity vibration, extreme temperatures, mechanical shock, plus more. All of our versions meet and even exceed stringent aerospace industry standards for durability and optical performance.
