The line

Four families, built by PDR World

Nothing outside these four families is in the line. Every figure below is a published PDR World specification, with its test condition where one applies.

01

FPV drone optical fibre kit

Sky Unit, Ground Unit and payout spool. The link carries no RF signature, so it cannot be jammed or intercepted over the air. Control runs CRSF or SBUS, selectable at setup.

Data rate
1.25 Gbps over one strand
Tether
1 to 50 km
Fibre mass
80 g/km
Coating
0.28 mm TPU
Control
CRSF / SBUS selectable
Pair of sealed matte black aluminium terminal enclosures with optical bulkhead port, antenna boss and status indicator
Terminal pair, CRSF / SBUS selectable
Loose coil of bare 0.28 mm clear coated optical fibre

0.28 mm TPU coated strand, 80 g per kilometre

02

Distributed acoustic sensing

One fibre reads vibration along its whole length, so a buried cable becomes the sensor. Nothing electronic sits in the field to power or replace.

Rack mount acoustic sensing host, front panel with eight capped optical bulkhead ports and status indicators
Interrogator host, 8 capped optical ports
Cut end of a yellow armoured sensing cable showing steel braid and a bare fibre pigtail beside a loose pigtail
Armoured sensing cable, one strand reads the route
Range
10 to 120 km per host
Positioning
1 m under 10 km
Frequency
1 Hz to 20 kHz
Capacity
4000 zones, 4000 events

03

Distributed temperature sensing

A continuous thermal profile along the fibre, metre by metre. Passive in the field and unaffected by electromagnetic interference.

Rack mount temperature sensing host with a row of eight capped optical channel bulkheads
Channel host, 4 / 8 / 16 optical channels
Channels
4 / 8 / 16
Range
5 / 10 / 15 km per channel
Accuracy
± 1 °C, 0.1 °C resolution
Positioning
0.4 m, 3 s

04

HXB connector series

Sealed field connectors for wet, shocked and vibrating installations. HXB11, HXB13 and HXB15 bodies, 2 to 6 channels.

Circular metal push pull connector mated to its flange receptacle, knurled coupling nut and O-ring visible
Mated pair, IP68 to 15 m depth
Open connector receptacle face showing a four channel optical insert with ceramic ferrules and keyway
Optical insert, 2 to 6 channels
Sealing
IP68 to 15 m depth
Mating cycles
3,000
Shock
50 g
Vibration
10 g

Three steps, one accountable team

  1. 01

    Let's discuss your spec

    Tell us what you need. We'll reply with availability, lead time, and a price you can put in a budget.

  2. 02

    You buy direct from the factory

    Factory-direct terms, no European reseller markup, and one EU team accountable end to end.

  3. 03

    We stay on the line

    Samples, documentation, change orders, quality checks. That work sits with us.

Why us

Build-to-order fibre, held to its numbers

Buying direct from an overseas factory usually means timezone friction, paperwork chasing, and a quiet worry that something goes sideways. We sit in the middle of that, on the buyer's clock.

  • Proven at scale

    PDR World has 40+ years building fibre optics to spec, and has supplied grid, rail, carrier and datacom programmes.

  • Four families, one source

    Links, acoustic sensing, temperature sensing and sealed connectors come off one line, from one accountable partner.

  • Every figure carries its condition

    1 m positioning under 10 km. 0.4 m at 3 s. We print the condition next to the number.

  • A team in your timezone

    EU-based, English-speaking, fast to respond. You never have to chase a factory.

  • Factory-direct terms

    No reseller markup between the line and your build.

  • Compliance confirmed upfront

    PDR World holds ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001 and RoHS compliance as the manufacturer. We confirm what applies to your part before you commit.

  • The spec stays honest

    No stock to push and no house brand to favour. We quote what fits the build. We're accountable for it afterwards.
