Take control where humans and radio signals cannot. RBOB fiber optic spools provide a secure, dependable communication link for remotely operated land, air, and underwater vehicles, enabling reliable performance in hazardous, inaccessible, or RF-denied environments.

Delivering up to 2,000 meters of 250 µm coated single-mode fiber in a package only 94 mm long and 80 mm in diameter, our standard RBOB spools offer exceptional fiber density in an incredibly compact format. At less than 340 grams, they are perfectly suited for drones and other lightweight uncrewed platforms, extending mission capabilities while minimizing payload impact.

Whether your application requires maximum fiber length, minimal size and weight, or a unique mechanical configuration, we offer a wide range of fiber optic spool packages to meet your needs. Our portfolio includes proven standard designs as well as fully customized solutions engineered to your exact specifications.

From spool capacity and enclosure dimensions to material selection and environmental requirements, our team can develop the optimal package for your application. Tell us about your project through the form below, and we’ll help design the solution that best fits your mission.

With the RBOB design, the optical fiber spool remains connected to the control station while the vehicle carries the stationary fiber end. As the vehicle advances, it unwinds the fiber directly from the spool, ensuring rapid and controlled deployment.

By minimizing tension and mechanical stress on the fiber throughout the deployment process, this configuration delivers exceptional reliability and performance in mission-critical applications.
