In the fast-paced world of optical drone operations, reliable data transmission is the backbone of successful missions—whether it’s aerial surveillance, industrial inspection, or long-range IoT connectivity. The 10M 1X9 Optical Transceiver Series from LevinLink (View Product) emerges as a game-changer, combining anti-interference excellence, long-distance performance, and flexible adaptation to redefine what optical drones can achieve.

Core Advantage for Optical Drones: Anti-Interference + Uncompromised Stability

Optical drones often operate in complex environments—from industrial zones with heavy electromagnetic interference (EMI) to remote areas with harsh weather. Traditional transmission modules struggle with signal drops, data corruption, or limited reach, putting critical missions at risk. LevinLink’s 10M 1X9 Optical Transceiver addresses these pain points head-on, making it the ultimate choice for optical drone systems.

Anti-Interference Design: Conquer Complex Operational Environments

Built with single-mode single-fiber (SM-SF) technology and FP laser components, this transceiver minimizes signal interference from external electromagnetic sources. Unlike copper-based transmission, single-mode fiber inherently blocks EMI and radio frequency interference (RFI), ensuring that data—whether real-time video feeds, sensor readings, or control signals—remains intact even in industrial plants, power grids, or crowded urban airspaces. For optical drones tasked with high-precision operations (such as power line inspection or pipeline monitoring), this anti-interference capability eliminates mission failures caused by signal disruption.

20-40KM Long-Distance Transmission: Extend Drone Operational Range

Optical drones often require covering vast distances without sacrificing data quality. The 10M 1X9 Transceiver supports a transmission range of 20KM to 40KM, breaking the limit of short-range modules and enabling drones to operate far from the control center. Whether it’s monitoring a large-scale farm, inspecting a long-distance railway, or conducting coastal surveillance, this transceiver ensures stable data flow across extended distances—no signal attenuation, no lag, and no data loss.

FC Connector: Secure Connection for High-Mobility Scenarios

Drones face constant vibrations, wind resistance, and physical jolts during flight. The transceiver’s FC connector features a screw-secured design that locks the connection firmly, preventing accidental disconnection even in high-mobility environments. Compared to standard connectors, the FC interface offers superior mechanical stability, ensuring uninterrupted transmission throughout the drone’s mission—from takeoff to landing.

Technical Highlights: Tailored for Optical Drone System Compatibility

Beyond anti-interference and long-distance performance, the 10M 1X9 Optical Transceiver is engineered with flexibility and reliability in mind, aligning perfectly with the diverse needs of optical drone configurations.

Multi-Wavelength Options: Adapt to Diverse Network Architectures

Equipped with multi-wavelength support, the transceiver offers flexible wavelength combinations (see detailed specifications in the Order Guide below) to match different optical drone network setups. Whether you need to deploy multiple drones on the same fiber link or connect to existing network infrastructure, the multi-wavelength design eliminates the need for additional fiber laying, reducing deployment costs and simplifying system integration.

3.3V/5V Dual Voltage Compatibility: Seamless Integration with Drone Power Systems

Optical drones come with varied power configurations—some use 3.3V modern power modules, while older or specialized systems rely on 5V supplies. This transceiver supports both voltage standards without modification, allowing seamless integration into any drone platform. No need for custom power adapters or circuit redesigns—just plug and play, saving time and resources for drone manufacturers and system integrators.

Plug-and-Play & Energy Efficiency: Ideal for 24/7 Drone Operations

Designed with universal 1×9 form factor, the transceiver is compatible with most mainstream drone communication modules, switches, and media converters. Its plug-and-play design enables fast deployment, eliminating complex configuration steps. Additionally, the module features low power consumption, a critical advantage for optical drones (which rely on battery life for mission duration). Advanced optical components and strict quality control ensure reliable 24/7 operation, making it suitable for continuous monitoring missions.
