Passengers expect to watch in-flight entertainment (IFE) and charge their portable devices quickly and easily when traveling. Aircrews expect to receive necessary flight information at all times. So aviation cables must be able to upload and download a lot of content and charge personal devices as fast as possible without disruptions.

GORE USB Cables meet these expectations and complex design requirements for small passenger at-seat modules. Meeting 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 protocols, each version delivers non-stop signal transmission up to 10 Gb/s, making sure high volumes of data and video are uploaded and downloaded instantly. These cable bundles also support the latest power management systems so aircrews and passengers can charge their portable electronic devices quickly and easily without delay.

Because aircraft environments can be rough on avionics, we build our power and data cable bundles with sturdy materials for added protection. They’re proven to withstand the harshest maintenance and flight conditions, like abrasion, chemicals, wide temperatures and more.

You can have peace of mind knowing that GORE USB Cables will perform long after alternatives have succumbed to demanding environments.

Meeting the latest protocols, GORE USB Cables deliver trustworthy results in a variety of high power and high data rate transmission applications, like:

• content loading
• data transfer
• digital video systems
• electronic flight bag (EFB)
• HD streaming video systems
• portable electronic devices
• power remote devices

Our airborne cable bundles can also be terminated with a variety of leading high-speed connector systems and backshells, like ARINC and MIL-STD-38999 with size 8 contacts.

We engineer GORE USB Cables with sturdy features that make them resistant to challenging environmental factors, maintenance activities and operational conditions, including:

• chemically inert materials
• temperature-resistant materials
• abrasion-resistant materials

For system architects and engineers, these aerospace cable bundles offer numerous benefits that ensure lifelong performance in aircraft, like:

• meet 2.0, 3.0 & 3.1 high data rate protocol requirements
• nonstop signals for data and video transmission up to 10 Gb/s
• instant high-volume content uploads and downloads
• charge carry-on devices quickly and easily without delays
• lifetime protection against harsh aircraft conditions, like extreme temps
• compatible with a variety of high-speed connector systems and backshells
