Gore Cable Assembly Builder
Microwave Assembly Part Number
FB0HA0HC0380
W. L. Gore & Associates has developed and proven
a wide range of products specifically tailored to the
RF / microwave industry. Since 1976, when Gore first
introduced our microwave assemblies, Gore has
remained a worldwide leader in providing custom
microwave assemblies for demanding applications.
Typical applications using GORE & Microwave
Assemblies include: test, aerospace, defense,
telecommunications and general purpose. With an
unmatched history in demanding environments, you
may be assured that Gore will provide the reliable
products necessary to meet your individual system
requirements.
GORE™ VNA Microwave Test Assemblies provide
the ultimate in performance for precision test
applications through 67 GHz, where constant and/or
highly repetitive movements occur, as with a vector
network analyzer. Extremely precise phase and
amplitude stability versus flexure provides the
highest accuracy and the greatest time interval
between recalibrations.
A unique, patented armor system provides a high
degree of limpness and low springback while
assuring long flex life. These assemblies employ
NMD-style ruggedized connectors for direct
attachment to VNA test ports and allow the use of
test port compatible adapters for best durability and
stability. GORE™ VNA Microwave Test Assemblies
are modular making cost-effective refurbishment
practical, even after 100,000 operations. Standard
length assemblies of 25", 38" and 48" are available.
