H18
FIBER OPTIC ROTARY JOINT
Legacy product and should not be used for new designs.
The H18 / H24 fiber optic rotary joints effectively combine a compact electrical slip ring with a fiber optic rotating joint. Both offer the flexibility of electrical, power and optical signal transfer through a single rotational joint. The H18 and H24 are low cost solutions for high data rate transmission to greater than 2.5 Gb / sec on the optical channel.
