Optical Fiber Spool Barrel for FPV Drones, 5-20km

This spool barrel holds the optical fibre that links a fibre-optic FPV drone or unmanned vehicle to its ground station, carrying video and data over glass instead of a radio channel. Choose 5, 10, 15 or 20 km of fibre to match your mission radius for inspection, survey and other work where radio links are crowded or jammed.

Key features

• Optical link is immune to electromagnetic interference and RF jamming
• Carries HD video and telemetry at the same time over one fibre
• Plug-and-play barrel for quick spool changes in the field
• Ruggedised, lightweight enclosure for mounting on the airframe

Specifications

• Fibre length: 5 km, 10 km, 15 km or 20 km
• Signals: HD video, telemetry and data
• Operating temperature: −20 to +65 °C

A fibre link also needs optical transceivers at the drone and ground ends that suit your camera, flight controller and ground station. Confirm the connector configuration and transceiver pairing for your setup with us before ordering, and pick a length with spare margin over your planned range, since the fibre pays out along the flight path rather than in a straight line.
