Overview

FAST INTEL & CLEAR COMMUNICATION

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.

Gore’s custom coiled cable connected to vehicular radio systems.

Gore’s custom coiled cables deliver secure radio communication during operations.

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.
MORE DURABILITY & COMFORT

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.
