White paper on selecting a cable system
W. L. Gore & Associates (Landenberg, PA) has released a new white paper that presents a systematic approach that design engineers can follow to ensure that a cable system will provide reliable performance in demanding environments and mission-critical applications.
“Selecting the Right Cable System for Your Environment” by Paul Warren, the lead design engineer, discusses the electrical, mechanical, environmental, and application-specific constraints that will affect cable performance. It also describes the advantages and disadvantages of typical materials used in cable construction, including an explanation of the testing and data analysis a manufacturer should perform in order to verify that its cable will perform in a specific application.
