Optical fiber rotary connector is also known as optical fiber slip ring, optical fiber confluence ring, optical fiber rotary joint, using optical fiber as the data transmission media. Its function is to solve the transmission problem of optical signal between relative rotating parts, namely, to ensure that the transmission of optical signal is not interrupted due to rotation. According to the number of channels, it can be classified as single channel, double channel and multi-channel. According to the type of optical fiber, it can be classified as single mode and multiple mode.

Optical fiber rotary connector

Product features:
(1) Use light for signal transmission, no electromagnetic leakage, good secrecy and anti-electromagnetic interference;
(2) No contact transmission, no wear and tear, long lifetime, up to 5 million revolutions. Frictionless, and it can be used in flammable and explosive environment;
(3) The transmission bandwidth is much larger than that of the electrical connector, and the bandwidth can be doubled when it is used in conjunction with the wavelength division multiplexer (WDM).

Application:
The signal transmission between the rotating part of the radar antenna and the console inside the vehicle; Signal transmission between the rotating turret and the console inside the vehicle; Signal transmission between submarine robot and control ship; Transmission of signals between the remote mechanical input/output device and the console; The transmission of signals between the robot and the console.
