Why Choose the A2 for Your Tethered Drone System?
The AF-400S48-2K is engineered for demanding tethered UAV applications where 48V architecture and higher power output are required — including multi-sensor surveillance platforms, tethered lighting systems, and heavy-payload inspection drones. Its IP55 weatherproof rating and -40°C cold-start capability make it suitable for deployments across extreme environments, from Middle Eastern desert heat to high-altitude mountain operations.
Key engineering advantages include seamless battery switchover with zero voltage transient drop, three-proof PCB coating for humidity and corrosion resistance, and a passive parallel current-sharing design that supports redundancy configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between the A2 and the A1.5?
A: The A2 (AF-400S48-2K) outputs 48Vdc at up to 2000W peak power, making it suited for heavier UAV platforms and 48V drone architectures. The A1.5 (AF-400S24-1.5K) outputs 24Vdc at 1500W and is designed for lighter 24V systems. Please confirm your drone's voltage requirement before selecting a model.
Q: Why does the drone need to take off with a fully charged battery?
A: The drone must carry a fully charged battery throughout tethered flight. If ground power is interrupted for any reason, the drone automatically switches to battery power for a safe emergency landing. The onboard power supply works alongside the battery — not as a replacement for it.
Q: Is the A2 suitable for high-temperature environments like the Middle East or India?
A: Yes. The A2 is rated for operating temperatures up to +55°C with forced air cooling, and carries an IP55 weatherproof rating. For extreme heat deployments, we recommend confirming your installation's thermal management setup with our technical team.
Q: Can the A2 operate at high altitude?
A: Yes. The AF-400S48-2K is rated for operation up to 5000m altitude, making it suitable for highland and mountainous deployment environments.
Q: Does the A2 support redundancy configurations?
A: Yes. The A2 supports passive parallel current sharing, which allows multiple units to operate in a redundancy configuration for mission-critical applications.
Q: What is the lead time and availability?
A: The A2 is available in stock for immediate shipment. If current stock is insufficient, lead time is 2–3 weeks. Contact Ms. Susy at susy@tetheredsystem.com and Whatsapp +86 19952400441 for real-time stock status and volume pricing.
