Fiber Optic Rotary Joints with 3 to 8 Channels

Type x.40

The x.40 type builds the bridge in the intermediate range of SPINNER’s fiber optic rotary joint portfolio. With an outer diameter of 40 mm it lies between the small x.25 (Ø 25 mm) and the largest representative x.60 (Ø 60 mm). The x.40 can be equipped with up to eight independent channels. As for all SPINNER FORJs, the proprietary active alignment procedure provides superior optical performance in a compact case. The strong in-house production depth of mechanical parts ensures efficient quality management complementing repeated optical tests during the assembly of a FORJ. This guarantees reliability and ideal performance.

The x.40 can be equipped with both single-mode and multimode channels. Also, a mixture of both is possible. In any case, each channel is optimized independently, resulting in lowest attenuation and preventing cross talk between the channels. x.40 stands out for its high rotational speed of up to 1000 rpm.

Premium versions with extremely low insertion loss (IL) and IL WOW values available.

For easy integration into existing setups, SPINNER provides customized FLEXIFLANGES according to your needs.
