MU-FC100S Relay tethering system For FC100
The MU-FC100S Relay Tethering System (often categorized under the T-FC100S series) is a high-power, long-endurance aerial station designed for the DJI FlyCart 100. Unlike standard tether systems that focus solely on lighting or cleaning, the "S" variant is the "Super Power" version specifically optimized for persistent communication relay and heavy-duty on-station monitoring.
It converts ground-based 380V AC power into high-voltage DC, allowing the FlyCart 100 to hover indefinitely (typically rated for $\ge$ 6 hours continuous use) to act as a temporary cellular or radio tower.
1. Key Features & Performance
Massive Power Output: The T-FC100S provides up to 40 kW of rated output from the ground station and 25 kW at the onboard module. This is significantly higher than the standard "N" version, ensuring it can power both the drone’s motors and power-hungry relay equipment (like 5G base stations or satellite links) simultaneously.
Extended Reach: Comes with a standard 220m tether cable, providing a much higher aerial vantage point for signal propagation than standard 100m systems.
Persistent Communication: Ideal for hosting a 4G/5G/PDT/MASH relay. Because it provides stable, regulated power, sensitive communication hardware is protected from voltage fluctuations.
Redundancy & Safety: If the tether power fails, the system automatically switches to the onboard drone batteries for a safe emergency landing. It features an IP65-rated onboard module to withstand diverse weather during long deployments.
