Fiber Optic Rotary Joints (FORJs) include a diverse range of models such as single-channel, 2-channel, and multi-channel (up to 50 channels), supporting both single-mode (SM) and multi-mode (MM) optical fibers. The MJX series represents the world's smallest and lightest single-channel FORJ, while the MJP model is capable of high-speed rotation up to 10,000 rpm. The RPC model, with an IP68 rating, is designed for deep-water applications, operating under high pressure up to 10,000 psi. The MRn series offers 20-50 independent fiber channels, characterized by low insertion loss, high return loss, and low crosstalk performance.FiberOpticRotaryJoints(FORJs)includeadiverserangeofmodelssuchassingle-channel,2-channel,andmulti-channel(upto50channels),supportingbothsingle-mode(SM)andmulti-mode(MM)opticalfibers.TheMJXseriesrepresentstheworld'ssmallestandlightestsingle-channelFORJ,whiletheMJPmodeliscapableofhigh-speedrotationupto10,000rpm.TheRPCmodel,withanIP68rating,isdesignedfordeep-waterapplications,operatingunderhighpressureupto10,000psi.TheMRnseriesoffers20-50independentfiberchannels,characterizedbylowinsertionloss,highreturnloss,andlowcrosstalkperformance.
Electrical Slip Rings are engineered to be compatible with Princetel's standard FORJs, featuring low maintenance and a long lifecycle. Popular models like SRG12, SRF24, and SR202G are often kept in stock, and custom solutions with specialized features such as water seals, pressure compensation, and explosion-proof capabilities are also available.ElectricalSlipRingsareengineeredtobecompatiblewithPrincetel'sstandardFORJs,featuringlowmaintenanceandalonglifecycle.PopularmodelslikeSRG12,SRF24,andSR202Gareoftenkeptinstock,andcustomsolutionswithspecializedfeaturessuchaswaterseals,pressurecompensation,andexplosion-proofcapabilitiesarealsoavailable.
