COTSWORKS is a manufacturer of rugged optical components for harsh environments. The company provides transceivers, cables, and integration services to companies in the commercial aerospace, military, oil and gas, and other industrial markets.

Ken Applebaum, COTSWORKS CEO, said: “We are excited to support Gore’s industry-leading presence and products with technical and sales support for their aerospace fibre optic cable products. Gore’s suite of cables integrates extremely well with our optoelectrical and interconnect products, which accelerate the use of high-speed connectivity in today’s global operation of commercial and military airplanes.”

John Frantz, channel manager for Gore’s Americas region, added: “Our new relationship with COTSWORKS will allow us to leverage our industry knowledge, engineering capabilities, and strategic customer relationships to help establish our value position and increase revenue for our fibre optic cables.”

Gore’s single- and multi-mode fibre optic cables address the aerospace industry’s ever-increasing high data rate requirements in compact, lightweight and flexible designs without sacrificing durability. Each version transmits lightning-fast data in less time over longer distances to support the next generation of aircraft data architecture.

With an innovative dual buffering system, Gore Aerospace Fibre Optic Cables, 1.8mm Simplex version meets ARINC 802-2 requirements and is proven to provide enhanced crush protection before and after installation. Gore’s 1.2 mm Simplex version incorporates a rugged buffering system that withstands extreme aerospace conditions that can severely impact overall system performance in aircraft. Gore’s 900µm buffered fibre optic cables combine a high level of crush protection while drastically reducing shrink back and the time required to terminate samples. Lastly, Gore offers three versions of fibre optic ribbon cables, each engineered with the right amount of ruggedness to maximize electrical and mechanical performance in a variety of avionics applications.

All versions of GORE Aerospace Fibre Optic Cables will be on display at the International Paris Airshow at hall 2B, stand F170.
