On the battlefield, military units rely heavily on coiled cables attached to vectronics and soldier-worn equipment to deliver real-time Intel and uphold secure communication. These cables are essential to the success of every operation, so they must never fail.

Backed by decades of proven reliability, GORE Coiled Cables offer more advantages over conventional alternatives when it comes to speed, durability and flexibility. They deliver real-time Intel and maintain secure on-the-move communication so troops can make informed tactical decisions based on optimal situational awareness.

We offer two versions of our military coiled cable that can be customized to meet your exact ground defense application needs and requirements:

• High-Speed Data/Video: This version significantly improves signal integrity and speed by transmitting data and video up to 10 Gb/s without failure in modern vectronics and soldier-worn equipment.
• Radio Communications: For years, the military has used this version in more than 35,000 radio systems. Soldiers trust them to keep the lines of communication secure and open at all times during operations.

We build our harsh-environment coiled cable using engineered fluoropolymer materials to handle extreme wear and tear, which means they’ll last longer in hostile environments. They’re proven to defend against tough terrain, changing weather, fluctuating temperatures, harsh chemicals, repeated shock and vibration and more. These combat-ready coiled cables also effectively shield wires from RF interference among critical systems and equipment.

Even so, our rugged coiled cable still offers more weight savings and higher flexibility than traditional substitutes. It’s 24% smaller and 25% lighter to reduce vehicle weight and equipment load and enhance soldier comfort. This highly flexible coiled cable expands to desired lengths and effortlessly retracts back to its original form, minimizing stress on fragile wires. Soldiers can easily connect our cable to vehicular radio systems and carry-on equipment or even weave them inside their uniforms.

We thoroughly test and qualify GORE Coiled Cables for Defense Land Systems according to rigorous industry standards, like VG95218-11. Our mil-spec cable brings long-term durability and reliability in a variety of vehicular and solider-worn applications, like:

Our defense coiled cables can also be terminated with a variety of high-speed connector systems and backshells, allowing designers to choose the best option for every application.

GORE Coiled Cables are engineered with unique features that make them more durable against challenging environmental factors and in-vehicle conditions, including:

• temperature- and abrasion-resistant materials
• chemically inert and EMI shielding materials
• compact, highly flexible cable construction

Our military-grade coiled cables provide vehicle system architects and engineers with many benefits that improve electrical, mechanical and environmental performance such as:

• reliable signals for high-speed data/video transmission up to 10 Gbps
• secure, clear on-the-move communication among military units
• excellent shielding effectiveness for less RF interference among systems
• rugged protection against terrain, weather, temperatures, vibration and more
• less weight and more comfort with 24% smaller and 25% lighter cable design
• highly flexible expanding to desired lengths and retracting to original form without effort
• proven long-term product life compared to conventional coiled cables
• compatible with a variety of high-speed connector systems and backshells

These values demonstrate the mechanical and environmental performance of GORE Coiled Cables (High-Speed Data/Video) for defense land systems.
