Schleifring  Dual-Channel Plastic Optical Fibers

The dual-channel fiber optic rotary joint has optimum features in terms of electromagnetic compatibility, interference resistance and life. It allows a bidirectional transmission of two isolated optical channels. The rotary joint is optimized for the use of plastic optical fibers and can be connected in an optical transmission network easily – especially for industrial applications. Basically, this unit will be delivered with a standard cable length of 1 meter and 4 FSMA connectors. Other cable lengths, cable types or customer specific cables are available upon request.
Because of the passive design, the dual-channel POF is best suited for every data protocol and data format and allows for a combination with mechanical slip rings, as well.

Classic applications:

• Automation
• Wind energy
• Robots and Handling machines
• Special Machinery

The glass fiber technology offers Single-mode (SM) and Multi-mode (MM) fibers.

While Multi-mode allows for carrying signals on many paths through the core fiber, Single-mode can carry only one single path, having the advantage of high-information carrying capacity and low attenuation. 

SCHLEIFRING  Single-Channel Multi-Mode

The single-channel Multi-Mode fiber optic rotary joint is suitable for the non-contacting bidirectional transmission of the highest data rates between a stationary and a rotating part. This unit is available for Multi-Mode glass fibers with fiber diameters of 62.5 to 125 µm and 50 to 125 µm. According to its optical features it is best suited for a wave range of 830 nm to 1,580 nm.
This multi-channel rotary joint will be delivered with a cable length of 2 m and is available with ST/PC or FC/PC connectors. Other customer specific mounting parts or different cable lengths are available upon request.
