ePTFE and Fiber Optics
Traditional fiber optic cable materials affect the well-known optical stability of a bare fiber. Gore's fiber optic Cable is differentiated from traditional cable by an expanded PTFE buffer system that effectively decouples the optical fiber from other cable elements. As a result, optical performance of a Gore cable closely approximates that of a bare optical fiber, even under mechanical or thermal stresses. This differentiating technology is common to all of Gore's fiber optic cable.
