RF optical cable 5G series

Qualified for spaceflight applications in three separate phases — integration, launch and in-orbit — Gore’s cable assemblies for Ka band frequencies ensure consistently reliable performance for the duration of the mission. Spacecrafts are exposed to extreme temperatures and conditions that can jeopardize signal transmission capabilities where it’s not possible to perform quick repairs in space. Therefore, space programs need durable, reliable cable assemblies they can trust to perform well over millions of miles. To answer the call, W. L. Failure isn’t an option in space, nor is it an option for cables used in space. These cables must endure take-off and harsh landings, stay reliable in use throughout the mission, and never require maintenance. After all, there’s no quick fix millions of miles from home. Gore’s High-Frequency Cable Assemblies for Ka Band Frequencies (Type 5G Series of GORE® Spaceflight Microwave/RF Assemblies) are qualified for spaceflight applications in three separate phases — integration, launch, and in-orbit — to ensure consistently reliable performance for the duration of the mission. Unlike the standard bifurcated contact used in test connectors, the robust connectors of the Type 5G Series withstand the vibration of launch and orbit without compromising signal performance. In addition, the low profile of these connectors increases flexibility during the layout process of satellite design. With superior radio frequency performance at 32 GHz, the cables are optimized for Ka band uplink and downlink applications.
