high speed data cables GORE® Aerospace Ethernet Cables (Quadrax, Cat5e) Gore’s cables are a perfect alternative to a standard quad design to meet Ethernet Cat5e requirements in advanced avionics systems (Figure 11). These star quadrax cables deliver continuous signal transmission up to 70 meters for size 24 AWG and 50 meters for size 26 AWG (Table 5). In addition, the reduced design of these cables is substantially smaller and lighter weight without sacrificing durability (Figures 12 and 13). Gore’s star quadrax design is approximately 40 percent smaller than the common dual twisted pair...

high speed data cables GORE® Aerospace Ethernet Cables (Dual Pairs, Cat5e) For Ethernet Cat5e requirements, Gore’s dual pair cables are an ideal solution in aircraft electronic systems (Figure 14). They preserve signal integrity for high-speed data transmission up to 1 gigahertz (Table 7). These cables also have a durable construction that supports a wide temperature range to tolerate the harshest aerospace environments. In addition, Gore’s dual pair cables have a smaller form factor this is also more flexible with a tighter bend radius, which means easier routing and faster installation in...
