GORE® Hook-Up Wires for Defense Land Systems
In difficult military surroundings, mission systems must be able to handle environmental and operational stress factors — and above all, not fail. With proven mechanical strength, Gore's robust hook-up wires maintain dependable electrical performance in a smaller, thinner, more flexible construction.

Overview
Today's sophisticated electronic systems must maintain stable communications on mobile digital networks because failure is not an option with warfighters' lives and the mission at stake. So, hook-up wires need to be strong enough to withstand harsh conditions without ever breaking or failing.
GORE Hook-Up Wires deliver continuous power while transmitting high-quality signals, so troops can reliably communicate with each other during critical operations. We engineer our wires in a smaller design without jeopardizing mechanical strength or electrical performance. With specialized insulation materials, they can easily tolerate extreme environments, like low/high temperatures, harsh chemicals, complex routing, and severe vibration. These wires are also proven to reduce the risk of abrasion and cut-through.
Gore's smaller wire design
Smaller wires with thinner insulation
As more high-tech electronic components are being installed in ground combat/support vehicles, there’s not as much room to route wire bundles.
Our hook-up wires are significantly smaller and require less space — more than 30% than a standard NEMA HP3 Type E wire — because of the thinner insulation that we use in the construction. So, wire by wire, they have a direct impact on saving weight. They’re also more flexible with a tighter bend radius making them perfectly aligned with today’s tight routing.
Whether your function is power or signal, GORE Hook-Up Wires provide the highest level of protection and performance in less space without short-circuiting. Ultimately, they reduce re-work, re-testing, and downtime due to wire failure — which means longer product life and less money you’ll have to spend overall.
Benefits
GORE Hook-Up Wires provide system architects and engineers with many benefits that improve electrical and mechanical performance such as:
- consistent power delivery with voltage ratings ranging from 100V to 1000V
- reliable signal integrity in severe conditions without short-circuiting
- superior cut-through resistance for added strength compared to standard NEMA wires
- enhanced durability due to temperature-/chemical-resistant insulation materials
- longer product life with abrasion-resistant and low-creep wire insulation
- smaller, lighter weight construction for improved installation and weight savings
- easier routing in confined areas due to greater flexibility and tighter bend radius

Type PTFE
GORE Hook-Up Wires with PTFE insulation are proven to provide a higher level of strength and protection while maintaining reliable electrical performance among critical mission systems.
Tensile strength comparison
Greater Mechanical Strength
Using ASTM D 3032 sections 16 & 17, we compared our wires to leading NEMA wires. Results proved that the overall tensile strength of our hook-up wires is much higher and didn't break or fail at lower temperatures like the other wires. So, even though our wires are smaller and thinner, they’re still very sturdy and will last over the vehicle's lifetime.
Applications
GORE Hook-Up Wires, Type PTFE are engineered to perform reliably in a variety of military applications, including:
- digital / analog data links
- ground combat / support vehicles

Type Halogen-Free
With a unique patented primary insulation, this version of GORE Hook-Up Wires emits low smoke and no halogen when exposed to extremely hot environments. Our inherently non-flammable wires drastically reduce the amount of toxic/corrosive gases emitted during combustion while maintaining stable communications on mobile digital networks.
Our halogen-free hook-up wires are smaller in size yet still very resilient, like our PTFE version, for a higher level of durability. This smaller, tougher primary insulation means considerably more flexibility, making it easy to bend them tightly in tiny openings without damaging or breaking them.
Our hook-up wires with halogen-free insulation are ideally suited for all types of ground combat/support vehicles operating in hotter climates.
