Headquartered in Westford, Massachusetts, Linden Photonics has been engineering and manufacturing advanced fiber optic, hybrid, and specialty copper cables since 2002. Our mission is to solve the toughest connectivity challenges for unmanned systems where lightweight design, strength, reliability, and performance are critical.
Building on technology originally developed for demanding naval applications, Linden created some of the world's smallest and strongest tether solutions. Our proprietary cable designs combine high-strength materials, advanced polymer technology, and precision manufacturing to deliver reliable performance in extreme environments.
Today, Linden Photonics provides next-generation tether and spool solutions for drones, UAVs, UGVs, aerostats, aerospace platforms, and autonomous systems worldwide. Our lightweight fiber optic drone tethers and precision-wound fiber optic spools enable secure, high-bandwidth, anti-jamming communications for missions where uninterrupted connectivity is essential.
From extended-duration drone operations and BVLOS missions to defense, public safety, and industrial applications, Linden solutions help operators fly farther, communicate securely, and maintain reliable control in challenging environments.
Whether you need a lightweight fiber tether, a power-and-data hybrid cable, or a custom cable designed for a unique mission profile, Linden's engineering team delivers innovative solutions that connect your system from A to B.
