3GOTEK TECHNOLOGY
Fiber optic slip rings, also known as optical rotary joints or fiber optic rotary connectors, are used in applications that require the transmission of optical signals across a rotating interface. Unlike traditional electrical slip rings that transmit electrical signals, fiber optic slip rings are designed to handle high-speed and high-bandwidth optical signals while allowing continuous rotation.
