In space applications, saving space and reducing launch mass are essential. GORE Space Cables, Type CSC, are up to 29% smaller and 19% lighter than the ESCC 3901/019 standard. Compared to the ESCC 3901/002, our cables are 10% smaller and 21% lighter, all while meeting the qualifications of ESCC 3901/025.

The smaller diameter of GORE Space Cables increases flexibility, allowing for tighter bend radii and easier routing. Enhanced color coding also simplifies cable identification, enabling faster installation.

Reliable Power and Signal Distribution for Long-Term Performance

GORE Space Cables, Type CSC, feature a robust construction that ensures reliable power and signal distribution, offering long-lasting performance in the most demanding space environments. These cables provide a cost-effective solution compared to other cables qualified under ESCC 3901.

The Science Behind GORE Space Cables

The superior performance of GORE Space Cables stems from the innovative insulation material, expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE). This advanced insulation enhances the cable’s flexibility, allowing it to bend and flex without damaging the conductors. ePTFE also eliminates the need for trimming frayed insulation, and its unique construction reduces the cable’s overall diameter, making it ideal for tight enclosures.
