As Plastic Optical Fiber (POF) has a very low insertion loss, it is the optimum choice for applications with short distances up to 50m. Typical applications can be found in mainly industrial applications like robots and handling machinery.

Single-Channel Plastic Optical Fibers

The single-channel plastic optical fiber rotary joint is the smallest and lightest in this category, which allows a rotational speed of up to 1,000 rpm for the transmission of low data rates. The large fiber core makes this rotary joint easy to handle and to install.
The robust industrial design and its compact size allow for the integration into conventional slip rings. This fiber optic rotary joint will be delivered with mounting flange to ensure a quick and easy installation.

Classic Applications:

• Industrial applications
• Automation
• Robot Handling
• Special Machinery

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
