Overview
High-Bandwidth Signals
With higher bandwidth requirements rising in avionics, cables must transfer lots of data and video reliably so pilots can maintain communication and passengers can enjoy in-flight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) for the entire flight. Aviation fiber optic cables must also be smaller and lighter to fit in limited airplane 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 aircraft fiber optic cables can easily accommodate bandwidth-intensive requirements to support next-gen data and video architecture.
Impressive level of Robustness
We offer a higher level of robustness with a cable protection tube that shields the fiber core. Our cables are proven to guard against rigorous installation, crushing force, high-intensity vibration, extreme temperatures, mechanical shock, plus more. Each fiber optic data cable meets and even exceeds stringent aerospace industry standards for durability and optical performance.
Unlike competitors, our fiber optics in aircraft are smaller, lighter and routable without losing their strength and signal quality. They balance strength, size, weight and flexibility to maintain fast, stable data and video transfer even in complex, space-limiting installation scenarios.
