FLEX-LITE® AEROSPACE FIBER OPTIC CABLES
GORE ASSOCIATES, INC. ELECTRONIC PRODUCTS DIVISION
1.2mm Simplex
Summary Gore Associates, Inc. provides high performance fiber optic cables assemblies military aerospace applications. Traditional fiber optic cable materials affect well-known optical stability bare fiber. Gore FLEX-LITE® product line differentiated from traditional fiber optic cables patented expanded PTFE buffer system that effectively decouples optical fiber from other cable elements. result, optical performance Gore cable closely approximates that bare optical fiber even under mechanical thermal stresses. This differentiating technology common Gore's FLEX-LITE® products: ribbon interconnects, high strength tether cables, hybrid round cables, simplex cables. Features Benefits temperature range from -55°C +150°C thermally induced attenuation changes thermally induced phase changes bend sensitivity vibration resistant standard aerospace connectors profile EIA/TIA-455 DOD-STD-1678 9001 certified facility aramid strength member jackets Performance Space military optical systems require proven components that will provide consistent performance severe thermal environmental conditions. Unpredictable component performance adversely affect overall system performance. Gore FLEX-LITE® 1.2mm simplex cable demonstrated stable optical performance when subjected vibration, mechanical shock, tension, temperature extremes. result, Gore FLEX-LITE 1.2mm simplex cable first only singlemode cable qualified spaceflight use.

Singlemode Performance Until now, singlemode cable presented special challenge system integrators designers. Singlemode fiber optic cable much higher bandwidth than multimode fiber optic cable more sensitive bending losses that affect system performance. temperature changes, bending losses induced coefficient expansion
mismatches between cable layers. High attenuation cable shrinkage after thermal cycling example this effect. Further, cable routing induce bending losses fiber adequately buffered outer cable layers pinch crush optical fiber. Gore expanded PTFE buffer protects optical fiber helps minimize these types optical losses.
