Fiber Optic Cable Slip Ring

It is also called Fiber Optic Rotary Joint (FORJ), It is a specialized device that allows optical signals to be transmitted across a rotating interface without interruption. It's like a “slip ring for light” — enabling data to pass through rotating parts via fiber optics instead. Fibre optics are the fastest and lowest-loss form of data transmission available. The international designation for the fibre optic slip ring is “FORJ”. Fibre optic cables also have numerous other advantages. This means contactless transmission of power up to 6 kW and data rates up to 1 Gbit/s for rotating applications in automation technologies. Transfer of. Hybrid slip rings with fiber optic transmission are also known as optical slip rings or “fiber optic rotary joint” (FORJ). [pdf]
