"STEC Armour is a leading Malaysian supplier of G.657.A2 fiber optic cable, specializing in continuous 60.4km spools for long-range drone applications."

Unjammable. Ultra-Long Range. Mission Critical.

The STEC Armour G.657.A2 Fiber Tether is the ultimate data link for UAVs operating in high-jamming environments. Designed for absolute signal integrity and zero RF footprint, this is the stealth alternative to traditional radio links.

 

Core Advantages:

  • Continuous Long-Range: Specialized 50.4km and 60.4km single-spool lengths for deep-penetration missions without splices.

  • Extreme Flexibility: G.657.A2 glass supports a tight 7.5mm bend radius, perfect for high-speed, compact spooling systems.

  • Combat Resilient: 100% immune to electronic warfare (EW) and signal spoofing.

  • High-Tensile/Ultra-Light: Reinforced with aramid yarns to handle flight stress while maintaining a miniaturized profile.

The Ultimate Lifeline for Long-Range FPV: 60km Ultra-Lightweight Fiber Tethers

In modern electronic warfare and long-range reconnaissance, signal is survival. When traditional radio links fail due to terrain, distance, or heavy EW jamming, the STEC Armour G.657.A2 Fiber Optic Tether provides a physical, unjammable data highway for your UAV fleet.

Engineered specifically for the demands of high-speed drone deployment, our specialized G.657.A2 single-mode fiber offers the perfect balance of extreme flexibility and high-tensile durability. We provide industry-leading continuous lengths—up to 60.4km per spool—allowing for unprecedented operational range without a single splice.

 

Why Operators Choose Our Drone Tethers:

  • Zero-Interference Communication: Total immunity to RF jamming and spoofing. Maintain 4K video feeds and telemetry in the most contested environments.

  • Extreme Bend Insensitivity: Utilizing the G.657.A2 standard, our cables maintain signal integrity even at a 7.5mm bend radius, essential for compact, high-speed internal spooling.

  • Continuous Long-Range Reach: Available in specialized lengths of 50.4km and 60.4km per spool, enabling deep-penetration missions that standard fiber simply cannot reach.

  • Ultra-Lightweight & High-Tensile: Reinforced with military-grade aramid yarns, our tethers are designed to withstand high-velocity unspooling and aerodynamic drag without snapping.

  • Stealth Operations: No RF footprint means your drone remains invisible to radio-frequency direction finders.
