LANDENBERG, PA – A new white paper from W. L. Gore & Associates presents a systematic approach design engineers can follow to ensure a cable system will provide reliable performance in demanding environments and mission-critical applications.

Paul Warren, the firm’s lead design engineer, authored the paper: Selecting the Right Cable System for Your Environment. The paper discusses electrical, mechanical, environmental, and application-specific constraints that affect cable performance.

Warren 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 to verify its cable will perform in a specific application.

Cost considerations and ramifications of cable failure are also included.
