Noise-Immune Data Transmission for Electrically Hostile Environments
STP Cables That Maintain Signal Integrity in the Noisiest Environments
Gore Shielded Twisted Pair Cables combine the differential noise rejection of twisted pairs with individual and overall shielding to deliver interference-free data transmission in the most electromagnetically challenging industrial, medical, and aerospace environments.
High-performance shielded twisted pair cables offering excellent noise immunity for critical data transmission in electrically noisy industrial and medical environments.
Why Choose Gore Shielded Twisted Pair Cables?
Data Integrity in High-Interference Environments
Industrial facilities with variable frequency drives, servo amplifiers, and high-power switching equipment generate severe electromagnetic interference. Gore STP cables' dual shielding architecture — individual pair plus overall braid — blocks conducted and radiated noise from disrupting control and sensor data, preventing false readings and communication errors.
Extended Flex Life for Motion Systems
In robotic wiring harnesses, cable carriers, and continuous-flex industrial machinery, standard STP cables fail prematurely as the shielding and conductors fatigue. Gore's fine-wire construction and optimized lay length maintain electrical performance through millions of flex cycles, reducing unplanned downtime.
Certified Performance for Medical Applications
Medical equipment near MRI suites, electrosurgical units, and defibrillators operates in some of the most demanding EMC environments. Gore STP cables support medical device EMC compliance by providing the shielding performance and consistent characteristics required during regulatory testing, not just in ideal lab conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Gore STP and standard shielded cable?
Standard shielded cables typically have only an overall shield, which reduces external interference but does not address crosstalk between pairs within the cable. Gore STP cables have both individual pair shielding (eliminating internal crosstalk) and an overall shield (blocking external interference), providing superior performance in both areas.
What data protocols work with Gore STP cables?
Gore STP cables support virtually all differential data protocols including RS-422, RS-485, PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, EtherCAT, PROFINET, CANopen, and high-speed custom differential interfaces. The key parameters to match are impedance and data rate.
How many conductor pairs are available?
Gore offers STP cables from single-pair up to 25 or more pairs in a single jacket. Multi-pair configurations reduce harness complexity while maintaining per-pair shielding for each signal channel.
Are these cables suitable for use in cable carrier (energy chain) systems?
Yes. Gore STP cables are engineered for continuous-flex applications including cable carriers. Their optimized construction maintains shielding integrity and conductor continuity through the millions of bend cycles typical in cable track installations.
