Founded in 1958 as a wire and cable manufacturer, Gore has grown into a multi-billion in annual sales, global manufacturer of thousands of products for not only the electronics industry, but the fabrics, industrial and medical industries as well. Customers look to Gore for creative, high-performance products. The company’s 50-year history of innovation extends from surgical implants to the first waterproof, breathable fabric and from guitar strings to electronic cables used in space exploration. The Apollo Missions to the moon and the Mars Rover use Gore cables due to their performance and reliability. Along the way, Gore products continue to set new standards in the markets they serve.
Gore has been an industry leader in the RF world since 1976 when GORE™ Microwave Assemblies were introduced. Since then Gore has maintained their leadership in the industry by continually developing cutting edge assemblies. GORE™ Microwave Assemblies are designed to function in the harshest environments of space and military applications, and yet Gore also offers assemblies designed to provide test labs with the precision measurements necessary for research and development. Besides offering assemblies that operate up to 110 GHz, Gore also offers a range of blindmate RF connectors including SMP, SMPM and GORE™ 100 Series Connectors.
Recognizing that EMI shielding causes many system problems for the RF community, Gore developed a line of EMI gaskets, grounding pads and board-level shields. The product line includes materials suitable for the most demanding applications including portable handsets, wireless base stations and power amplifiers.
Gore's new Microwave/RF Configurator - available at www.gore.com/rfcablebuilder - simplifies the assembly design and configuration process enabling the user to build an assembly and submit an RFQ using the simple step-by-step configuration tool, with no registration required to access the process.
