Next-gen vents are more rugged, reliable

Next generation screw-in GORE Protective Vents offer such improvements as a rugged, single-body construction, instead of a snap-on cover, and the use of a more durable plastic resin to increase protection of telecom equipment from mechanical stress in the harsh environments. For additional reliability, each next-gen vent is quality-tested with 100% airflow testing and membrane inspection at assembly, and is laser-marked with a unique ID number for tracking and traceability.

The vents address enclosure problems created by rapid weather changes, which can cause internal pressure fluctuations that stress housing seals and allow water and contaminant damage. The vents permit airflow to equalize the housing’s internal pressure, while keeping water, dust, dirt and other contaminants out. The units can withstand −40°C to 125°C.
