GORE™ Optimized RG400 Coaxial Cable is designed to be a direct replacement for RG400 cable. Gore’s cable is 60% lighter weight and 30% smaller diameter compared to standard RG400 cable. The cable is suitable for use in commercial and military aircraft and is an ideal choice for aircraft electronics retrofits because it is small, flexible, and easy to route. Typical applications include navigation, communications, box-to-antenna, and in-flight entertainment.
Features
Lighter weight
Smaller size
Lower attenuation
Higher velocity of propagation
Superior shielding effectiveness
Qualified to EN 4604-003 and FAR25.853
Benefits
Less space required
Increased electrical performance
Easy to route
Significant weight savings, e.g. 22kg (49lbs) per Airbus A330/340 inflight entertainment; 59 kg (130 lbs) Airbus 330 total aircraft (estimate); 21 kg (46 lbs) Gulfstream 550 total aircraft (estimate).
Technical Specifications
GORE™ Optimized RG400 Coaxial Cable meets the stringent requirements of both EN 4604-003 and FAR25.853. The 50 ohm cable meets and exceeds the electrical requirements of MIL-C-17. Designed for use in aircraft electrical systems, the cable has an operating temperature range of -65°C to +200°C. The maximum operating frequency is greater than 3 GHz and the outer jacket of the cable is UV-laser printable.
A special cable design provides enhanced performance allowing GORE™ Optimized RG400 Coaxial Cable to have 10% lower attenuation. Environmental protection is achieved with the use of a FEP outer jacket.
GORE™ Optimized RG400 Coaxial Cable offers significant weight savings. If the GORE™ Cable replaced all of the standard RG400 cable on a typical large cabin business jet, expectations of weight savings is approximately 42 lbs (19kg). When GORE™ Optimized RG400 Coaxial Cable replaced standard RG400 cable on the Airbus 330/340 in-flight entertainment system, the weight savings was 48 lbs (22 kg) from that one application.
