1km Fiber Optic Tether Spool for UAV & FPV Drones

1km Fiber Optic Tether Spool for UAV & FPV Drone Systems

The 1km Fiber Optic Tether Spool is engineered to deliver ultra-stable short-to-mid range communication for UAV and FPV drone platforms. Because mission-critical drone operations demand secure and interference-free transmission, this 1km optical tether provides a dependable alternative to conventional RF systems. As a result, operators maintain consistent data flow and stable real-time video feeds during controlled flight operations.

Explore our complete Optical Fiber Tether Spool Collection to compare all distance variants designed for UAV and defense deployments.

High-performance single-mode optical fiber systems powered by G657A2 technology minimize signal attenuation at both 1310nm and 1550nm wavelengths. Consequently, telemetry and command transmission remain stable even in RF-sensitive environments. In addition, optical transmission significantly reduces external signal disruption, thereby improving operational reliability.

1km Fiber Optic Tether Spool – Ideal for Controlled Range Operations

Unlike long-distance variants such as the
10km Fiber Optic Tether Spool
or
20km Fiber Optic Tether Spool,
this 1km configuration is optimized for short-range UAV testing, research platforms, and secure training environments. Therefore, it is suitable for laboratories, field testing zones, and controlled defense simulations.

• Available in 1km to 30km Variants
• G657A2 Single-Mode Fiber
• 1310nm / 1550nm Support
• Pre-integrated FC Connectors
• Low Attenuation Performance

Durable Optical Tether Spool for Aerial Deployment

Because aerial deployment creates continuous strain, mechanical durability becomes essential. Therefore, reinforced construction ensures dependable performance under dynamic load conditions. Furthermore, the aluminium alloy nozzle reduces friction and prevents micro-bending losses. At the same time, the ABS housing protects the fiber against dust and shock. Consequently, the internal fiber structure remains protected during extended missions.

• Tensile Strength > 50N
• Aluminium Anti-Friction Exit Nozzle
• Shock-Resistant ABS Shell
• Outdoor-Ready Construction

Compatible UAV Communication Modules

• Ground Module
• Line Cable
• Radio Module

In addition, integrating compatible ground communication modules ensures seamless system deployment. As a result, UAV ground-to-air optical connectivity becomes more efficient and stable.

Advanced Applications in UAV & Defense Systems

Because fiber-based transmission provides secure and low-latency data transfer, this spool supports multiple advanced applications. For example, it can be deployed in tactical UAV operations. Similarly, it suits research platforms and AI-driven sensor networks. Moreover, tethered FPV drones benefit from uninterrupted communication during short-range operations.

• Defense & Tactical UAV Operations
• Short-Range FPV Drone Tether Systems
• Aerial Research & Testing Platforms
• Ground-to-Air Optical Links
• Training & Simulation Deployments
