Guide
Radio links can be jammed, congested or forbidden. A spooled fiber-optic link keeps control and video on a physical channel no RF attack can touch.
Why RF links fail
Consumer and industrial drone links ride crowded 2.4/5.8 GHz bands; deliberate jamming, accidental interference and range all degrade them at exactly the wrong moment.
How fiber links resist
The fiber is a physical medium — there is nothing to jam. Control and video travel optically to 50 km with near-zero latency (manufacturer specification for the DPSM-0.27 series).
When to choose fiber
Corridors through contested RF (ports, borders, critical infrastructure); missions where link reliability is non-negotiable; any flight where RF silence is required.
System pairing
Spool + platform + (optionally) a silent generator for grid-independent operation — the full anti-jamming mission chain from one supplier.
FAQ
How far can a fiber-linked drone fly?
Up to 50 km on the DPSM-0.27 series with total link loss ≤16 dB including connectors (manufacturer specification).
Does the fiber break?
G657A2 bend-insensitive fiber with controlled payout is engineered for flight loads; breaking strength figures are in the datasheet.
