Particle generation from cables in cable chains is a complex problem for semiconductor cleanroom environments. As much as possible, system design engineers should reduce the number of moving components and the friction among these components to achieve a low-particulation cable system that will last for tens of millions of cycles. 

That’s why W. L. Gore & Associates contracted with the Fraunhofer Institute in Germany to test and measure the particulation levels of GORE? Trackless High Flex Cables and GORE? High Flex Flat Cables. Results revealed that these ISO-certified cables maintained the lowest particulation levels for repeated flexing in cleanroom environments.
