DHS060-54-1F photoelectric hybrid slip rings 54 channels with 1 fiber optic slip ring

Fiber optic slip ring

Fiber optic slip ring for maximum data rates. Light waves are the fastest and lowest-loss form of data transmission available. The international designation for the fiber optic slip ring is “FORJ”. This means “Fiber Optic Rotary Joints”. In addition, fiber optic cables have numerous other advantages.

  • These include the following properties:
  • Reliable signal transmission without interference
  • Insensitive to electromagnetic interference
  • No earthing or galvanic isolation necessary
  • Totally harmless
  • Extremely high security against eavesdropping
  • Very high ranges without intermediate amplification
  • Very high transmission rates

Optical fibers can be laid in bundles. Any signal introduced is reliably passed through without affecting the neighbouring strands. They can also be laid next to power lines without any problems. Optical fibers are insensitive to magnetic fields of any kind. Since they are based on a different physical principle than power cables, fibre optic cables require neither earthing nor galvanic isolation. They do not conduct electricity and cannot cause fires. They are practically insensitive to unwanted eavesdroppers.

One disadvantage of fibre optic cables is their complex assembly. Interruptions quickly reduce the transmission rate and speed of these data carriers. Until now, this was especially true for complicated transitions, such as from a stationary to a rotating conductor. We have solved these problems with our new fiber optic slip ring.
