Power Enabler — High-Current Cables
High-Current Power Delivery in the Lightest Possible Package.
Gore Power Feeder Cables are engineered to carry high continuous current loads while minimizing cable weight and diameter — a critical design constraint on aircraft, UAVs, and compact industrial machinery. ePTFE insulation allows thinner walls at equivalent voltage ratings compared to conventional insulations, directly reducing cable bundle diameter and harness weight.
High-current power feeder cables engineered for weight-critical aerospace platforms and rugged industrial machinery requiring compact, reliable power delivery.
Why Choose Gore Power Feeder Cables?
Weight-Optimized for Aerospace
Every kilogram saved in an aircraft's wiring harness directly improves payload capacity or fuel economy over the aircraft's service life. Gore's ePTFE insulation achieves rated voltage performance at thinner wall thicknesses than conventional insulations, reducing the overall weight of power distribution cables.
High Continuous Current Capacity
Gore Power Feeder Cables are rated to carry high continuous current loads reliably in both free-air and bundled configurations. Their thermal performance ensures safe conductor temperatures are maintained even in tightly packed aerospace or industrial cable trays.
Rugged Chemical and Environmental Resistance
ePTFE insulation is inert to virtually all aerospace and industrial fluids — hydraulic fluid, fuel, oil, MEK, and de-icing chemicals. Gore Power Feeder Cables do not degrade or lose dielectric integrity when exposed to these substances in service.

Frequently Asked Questions
What continuous current ratings are available?
Current ratings depend on conductor cross-section, installation method (free air vs. bundled), and ambient temperature. Contact RSTECH Electronics with your current, voltage, and installation conditions for product selection guidance.
Can these cables be terminated with standard aerospace connectors?
Yes. Gore Power Feeder Cables are compatible with standard aerospace connector termination processes. Contact RSTECH Electronics to discuss specific connector and termination requirements.
Are these cables suitable for high-voltage DC (HVDC) aircraft applications?
As aircraft move toward 270 VDC and 540 VDC power architectures, the voltage rating requirements for feeder cables increase. Contact RSTECH Electronics to discuss the appropriate Gore product for your specific voltage bus architecture.
What is the minimum bend radius for these cables?
Minimum bend radius is a function of cable outer diameter and construction. Gore provides specific bend radius guidance per product variant — contact RSTECH Electronics for the relevant data sheet.
