EMI-Immune High-Bandwidth for the Harshest Environments
Ruggedized Fiber Optic Cables That Go Where Standard Fiber Cannot
Gore Fiber Optic Cables combine the infinite bandwidth and EMI immunity of fiber optics with ruggedized ePTFE construction that survives the shock, vibration, and temperature extremes that defeat conventional cables.
Lightweight, ruggedized fiber optic cables with ePTFE buffer tubes. Immune to EMI and optimized for harsh environments where conventional fiber fails.
Why Choose Gore Fiber Optic Cables?
Total EMI Immunity Regardless of Environment
In environments saturated with RF energy, high-power electronics, or lightning-induced transients, copper data cables require extensive shielding that adds weight and complexity. Gore fiber optic cables are inherently immune to all electromagnetic interference — routing them alongside power cables causes zero degradation.
Exceptional Reliability in Temperature Extremes
Standard fiber optic cables use buffer materials that crack at low temperatures or soften under heat. Gore's ePTFE buffer tubes maintain their protective properties from -65°C to +200°C, preventing microbending and attenuation increases that cause link failures in aerospace, outdoor, and industrial deployments.
High Bandwidth Future-Proofs Your Infrastructure
Fiber optic cables support virtually unlimited bandwidth upgrades — the same physical cable that carries 10G today can support 100G, 400G, or beyond by upgrading transceivers. Installing Gore fiber now eliminates the need to re-cable when bandwidth requirements grow.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Gore fiber optic cables different from standard industrial fiber?
The key differentiator is Gore's ePTFE buffer tube technology, which provides superior microbend protection and maintains performance across extreme temperatures. Combined with ruggedized jacketing and specialized strength members, Gore fiber cables survive environments that quickly degrade standard industrial fiber.
Are these cables compatible with standard fiber optic connectors?
Yes. Gore fiber optic cables can be terminated with all standard connector types including LC, SC, ST, MTP/MPO, and military-grade TFOCA connectors. RSTECH can supply pre-terminated assemblies or bulk cable for field termination.
Can these cables be used in MRI environments?
Fiber optic cables are inherently MRI-compatible as they contain no ferromagnetic materials and are not affected by magnetic fields. Gore's non-metallic construction options make them ideal for MRI suite installations where copper cabling is problematic.
What fiber counts are available?
Gore offers fiber optic cables with fiber counts ranging from 2 to 24 or more fibers depending on the specific product family. Custom configurations with higher counts may be available — contact RSTECH Electronics to discuss your requirements.
