Ultralight Fiber-Optic Assemblies for FPV & UAS
Fortis Fiber builds micro-diameter, bend-insensitive single-mode assemblies. High-density terminations, mission-grade reliability, and lengths up to 50 km.
Micro-Diameter
0.25–0.5mm OD with aramid strength members for ultra-low mass.
Bend-Insensitive
G.657.A1 single-mode optimized for ~10mm design radius packaging.
FC / LC
Universal connectorization options for seamless integration.
CF Reinforced
Premium PET-G Carbon Fiber shells—lightweight and ruggedized.
Glass-to-Flight Reliability Built for FPV
Designed and assembled in Los Angeles with controlled processes: interferometer-verified endfaces, low-loss ferrules, and documented workmanship. Tight routing, clean signal, repeatable performance.
Process Control & Inspection
Endface geometry & polish inspected; insertion/return loss tested per lot. Worksteps signed off at each station.
Component Traceability
Unit serials link fiber type, ferrule batch, cure lot, and test results to every assembly.
On-Shore Manufacturing
Built in Los Angeles for short lead times, secure handling, and rapid design turns.
Specifications & Options
Built to Your Airframe
Fiber Type
Single-mode OS2 (G.657.A1 bend-insensitive) for long-range links. Typical attenuation ~0.35 dB/km @1310 nm, ~0.25 dB/km @1550 nm.
Cable Diameter
0.25 mm tight-buffer (ultralight) or 1.0–1.5 mm ruggedized jacket. Aramid (Kevlar®) strength members for tensile robustness with minimal mass.
Connector Systems
FC or LC (UPC/APC). Other connectors available upon request for orders over 100qty.
Bend Radius
Designed around ~10 mm nominal bend radius (G.657.A1) — route through cramped bays without compromising loss.
Length & Labeling
Cut-to-length up to 50 km (upon request for qty over 100). Unit serialization and port labeling standard; QR links to test data optional.
Housings & Jackets
Carbon-fiber reinforced PET-G polymers; TPU/FEP jackets; rugged boot options available on request. Environmental sealing and dust caps available.
Optical Performance
Low-loss terminations using Grade-B components; every lot insertion/return-loss tested and recorded.
Turn & Scale
Pilot lots now; production ramp in progress. Consistent build recipes and documented inspections.
Built in Los Angeles
Secure, on-shore production with fast feedback loops and responsive engineering support.
