PDK41302-2*19AWG+1SMF
Tethered drone cable with 2×19AWG silver-plated copper power cores plus 1×single-mode G657A2 fibre, 4.2mm PUR jacket, 500N tensile, 23.9 g/m.
Product introduction
This is a high-performance airborne tether cable designed for tethered drones and unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in surveillance, inspection, emergency communication and military reconnaissance. It combines reliable power transfer with real-time data and signal transmission, with high tensile strength, lightweight flexibility and good abrasion resistance, UV resistance and weather resistance.

The cable supplies continuous high-voltage power to the aircraft while maintaining high-bandwidth data communication, giving unlimited flight endurance without battery changes. It has passed demanding dynamic bending and pull-out tests, confirming no performance loss under repeated spooling and unspooling and harsh outdoor conditions; the design emphasis is mechanical durability rather than water resistance.
Well suited to:
Tethered multi-rotor and fixed-wing drones for continuous surveillance, inspection and mapping
Police and border patrol drones requiring 24/7 aerial monitoring
Emergency communication relay drones (disaster response, search and rescue)
Military reconnaissance and electronic warfare drone platforms
Temporary mobile communication masts (drone as a tethered mast)
Power line and pipeline inspection drones requiring long flight times
Agricultural mapping and environmental monitoring drones
It meets the simultaneous need for continuous power and high-speed data transfer to airborne equipment in extreme weather (strong wind, rain, heat, sand and UV). The lightweight, compact design minimises payload drag while retaining good bending performance for repeated tether deployment and recovery.
The cable is suited to continuous aerial surveillance, industrial drone inspection, emergency communications, border patrol and military unmanned systems.
