Fiber optic hybrid slip rings combine an electrical slip ring with a fiber optic rotary joint, providing a multifunctional rotating interface for electrical and optical connections. These hybrid FORJ units allow the unlimited transmission of power, signal and large amounts of data from a stationary to a rotating platform, not only optimize the system configuration but also save cost.

AOOD provides wide range of electrical and optical combinations to meet various applications’ needs. A highly compact miniature slip ring may be integrated with the smallest single channel FORJ to transfer low current, signal and high speed data for HD camera systems. A rugged high power electrical slip ring may be integrated with multi-channels FORJ for use in ROVs. When harsh environment operational capability is required, stainless steel housing, a fully sealed enclosure or fluid-filled pressure compensation are optional. Additionally, the hybrid optical-electrical units can be combined with fluid rotary unions to provide a complete electrical, optical and fluid rotating interface solution.
