The LINDEN-SPE-7345 is a next-generation hybrid tether cable engineered to deliver both power and high-speed optical communication in a single, lightweight, and flexible package. Designed for demanding applications such as tethered camera systems in the entertainment industry, robotics, and other dynamic environments, this cable combines rugged durability, optical performance, and mechanical strength without compromise.

Advanced Construction & Materials

• Hybrid Configuration: Integrates two singlemode gel-filled optical fibers alongside two copper conductors (#16 AWG), enabling simultaneous transmission of power and data.
• Proprietary Jacket: Built with Linden’s aramid and polyester braided design, reinforced with braided nylon, ensuring outstanding tensile strength (up to 2,400 lbs) while maintaining flexibility.
• Compact & Lightweight: With an outer diameter of just 6.35 mm (0.260″) and weight of 32 lbs/1,000 ft, the cable provides an excellent balance of strength-to-weight ratio.

Optical & Electrical Performance

• Low Signal Loss: Attenuation of <0.5 dB/km at both 1310 nm and 1550 nm, delivering reliable high-bandwidth connectivity.
• 100% Optical Testing: Every cable undergoes rigorous propagation loss measurements at both wavelengths to guarantee consistent performance.
• High Voltage Rating: Rated at 600 V, providing stable and safe power delivery alongside data transmission.

Mechanical Strength & Flexibility

• Exceptional Tensile Strength: With a maximum rating of 2,400 lbs, the LINDEN-SPE-7345 ensures durability even under demanding pull and load conditions.
• Safe Working Load: Recommended guideline of 360 lbs (15% of tensile strength) ensures long-term safety and reliability.
• Bend Radius Advantage: A minimum bend radius of 127 mm (5.2″) provides installation flexibility without compromising cable integrity.

Key Benefits

• Space & Weight Savings: One hybrid solution eliminates the need for separate power and fiber runs.
• Superior Durability: Engineered for repeated handling, deployment, and retrieval in mobile or high-movement setups.
• Traceability & Quality: Each cable serialized with an ID number, with detailed test data provided for every shipment.
• Custom Options: Available in a range of jacket colors for easy identification (Blue, Brown, Green, Gray, Orange, Red, Violet, White, Yellow, Black).

Applications

• Entertainment & Broadcast: Ideal for tethered camera systems, stage rigging, and studio environments requiring simultaneous power and data.
• Robotics & Remote Systems: Supports autonomous or semi-autonomous systems where lightweight, flexible hybrid connectivity is critical.
• Industrial Use: Suitable for harsh operating conditions requiring robust cables that withstand frequent bending and pulling.
• Defense & Aerospace: Delivers reliability in mission-critical applications where both data integrity and mechanical strength are essential.
