When upgrading any aircraft, proper connector-cable termination practices are crucial to ensure complete and accurate high-speed data transfer. The F-16 upgrade initiative is using Gore Aerospace Ethernet Cables. The 10-gigabit cables exceed Cat6a electrical requirements. They deliver reliable signal integrity with sufficient margin for high-speed data transmission over longer distances. These cables are qualified according to C21091 Specifications for F-16 upgrades that require exceptional electrical and mechanical performance in harsh aerospace environments.

These cables can be easily retrofitted into any existing aircraft structure. They are small, light weight, and flexible with a smaller bend radius for easy routing in tight areas. The individually shielded pairs ensure lower signal attenuation and minimal crosstalk for reliable system performance over the life of the F-16 aircraft.
