GORE RCN9034-28 Cat6A 28 AWG 4-Pair Aerospace Ethernet Cable

GORE® RCN9034-28 is a 4-pair Cat6A aerospace and defense Ethernet cable engineered for high-speed data and video links in demanding air and land platforms. RF-AV offers cut lengths and bulk quantities with exact-part, connector, and application support.

Quick answer

This part supports up to 10 Gb/s over a published channel distance of up to 80 m (262 ft), with a -65°C to +200°C operating range. Select the length option you need, or contact RF-AV before ordering when the installation drawing specifies a connector, qualification, or maximum finished-channel length.

When to specify RCN9034-28

Choose this construction for 10GBASE-T aerospace and defense Ethernet links when its gauge, diameter, weight, qualification, and connector compatibility match the platform drawing or approved parts list.

Typical applications

Avionics and vetronics networks, Ethernet backbones, HD camera and video systems, mission systems, radar and radio systems, sensor data collection, tactical links, and other space- or weight-constrained high-speed interconnects.

Length and termination planning

The published distance applies to the complete terminated channel, not automatically to every installed cable segment. Connector type, termination quality, routing, bend radius, temperature, and platform requirements can affect the finished link. RF-AV can help compare the exact GORE part number with the specified connector system before material is cut.

Ordering and availability

Order by the foot or choose a common bulk length. Vendor inventory, cut-length minimums, reel tolerance, processing time, and freight can change; contact RF-AV for urgent requirements or a project quantity.

Frequently asked questions

Is RCN9034-28 a Cat6A Ethernet cable?

Yes. GORE identifies this as a 4-pair Cat6A aerospace Ethernet construction. Performance must be evaluated as part of the complete terminated channel.

What data rate and distance does GORE publish?

GORE publishes up to 10 Gb/s and a maximum channel distance of up to 80 m (262 ft) for this cable family.

Can I buy a cut length?

Yes. RF-AV lists a by-the-foot option and common bulk lengths. Confirm connector and finished-channel requirements before ordering custom-cut material.

Does RF-AV provide connector guidance?

Yes. Send the platform drawing, connector part number, required protocol, and finished length so RF-AV can help verify the intended cable-and-connector combination.
