Product Introduction

PDK41302-2*22AWG+1SMF 系留无人机电源-光纤复合系缆

专为系留无人机(UAS)设计的高性能空中系缆,可经地面电源持续供电并实时回传视频与数据,突破机载电池限制,实现数小时乃至数天滞空作业。缆芯为2根22AWG镀银铜导体配FEP绝缘,内置单模G657A2光纤,以LCP填充件为加强结构,抗拉强度达500N。橙色聚醚型聚氨酯(PUR)护套耐紫外线、耐磨、耐油,适应-40~105℃宽温域,整体仅约16.5g/m,轻巧高柔,可耐受反复收放与紧半径弯折。护套颜色、长度可按需定制。

This high-performance aerial tether cable is purpose-built for tethered unmanned aerial systems (UAS) requiring continuous power and real‑time data links. It eliminates the flight time limitation imposed by onboard batteries, allowing drones to remain airborne for hours or even days. The cable integrates low‑resistance power conductors with optional optical fibers or shielded signal pairs, all housed within a lightweight, ultra‑flexible jacket that withstands harsh outdoor conditions.

Unlike standard electrical cables, this tether is engineered to survive the demanding dynamics of drone operations – repeated winding, unwinding, tight‑radius bending, and high tensile loads during ascent or in windy conditions. Aramid (Kevlar) yarn reinforcement provides excellent pull strength without adding excessive weight, while the UV‑stable PUR jacket resists abrasion, oil, and extreme temperatures. The result is a reliable umbilical that delivers stable power from a ground generator or battery pack to the drone, enabling unlimited endurance without landing for battery swaps, all while maintaining high‑speed communication for video, telemetry, or command signals.

Ideal for:

Tethered multi‑rotor and fixed‑wing UAVs for border patrol, traffic monitoring, and event security

Emergency communication relay drones (disaster recovery, wildfire management, search and rescue)

Military reconnaissance, jamming, and signal intelligence platforms

Persistent inspection of power lines, pipelines, wind turbines, and solar farms

Temporary mobile communication masts (drone as an aerial cell tower)

Agricultural surveying and long‑duration environmental monitoring

Any application requiring unlimited flight endurance, reliable power, and real‑time data link without the weight penalty of heavy batteries

The PDK-AT series simultaneously meets the needs of UAV systems for high‑power transmission (15–20 A continuous) and low‑latency data communication under harsh environmental conditions – including strong UV, sandstorms, rain, and extreme temperatures. The cable is not designed for underwater sealing, but rather for dynamic aerial deployment where mechanical toughness, light weight, and bending flexibility are paramount.

This cable is the ideal choice for industrial drone operators, defense contractors, public safety agencies, and research institutions looking for a ready‑to‑use or customizable tether solution that maximizes flight time and system reliability.
