Ultralight Fiber-Optic Assemblies for FPV & UAS
Fortis Fiber designs and assembles high performance fiber systems for tethered platforms. Available with complete media converter sets or plain fiber spools.
Micro-Diameter
0.25mm OD -> high packing density
Bend-Insensitive
G.657.A2 single-mode optimized for ~7.5mm design radius.
FC / LC / ST
Universal connectorization options for seamless integration.
Dual-Mounting
Comes with an integrated toolless Picatinny mount & zip-tie holes.
Glass-to-Flight Reliability Built for FPV
Designed and assembled in Los Angeles with quantifiable QC on each spool.
Process Control & Inspection
OTDR-Measured attenuation, OTDR-measured length, weight, and more logged at each work station and final QC
Component Traceability
Unit serials link fiber type, ferrule batch, test results, and more to every assembly.
On-Shore Manufacturing
Built in Los Angeles for short lead times, secure handling, and rapid design turns. We offer customization for large orders.
Mission Profiles
Signal-Silent
Deploy with zero-RF footprint in the face of EW. Fiber optics enable complete immunity to electronic warfare and jamming in contested environments.
Shielded Industrial Inspection
Maintain HD video feeds in bores, tunnels, and deep shafts where traditional line-of-sight signals cannot propagate.
Specifications & Options
Built to Your Airframe
Fiber Type
Single-mode OS2 (G.657.A2 bend-insensitive) for long-range links. Typical attenuation ~0.35 dB/km @1310 nm, ~0.25 dB/km @1550 nm.
Media Converters
Built-in media converters of your choosing: Analog video, IP over fiber, RF over fiber, or none.
Connector Systems
FC / LC / ST (UPC/APC). Other connectors available upon request for orders over 100 units.
Bend Radius
Designed around ~7.5 mm nominal bend radius (G.657.A2) — 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
Black PET-G housings with built-in toolless Picatinny mounting. Or cut the weight and use the zip-tie holes.
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.
