Optical transmissions achieved by Transmission speed 6.25Gbps, Length 1m simplified electrical connections Optical signal transmission is accomplished with electronic connectors and has eliminated the need for cleaning the mating faces of traditional fiber optic connectors. 2. High-speed, signal transmissions with no EMI noise. Optical signal transmissions rated up to 6.25Gbps are possible. Since there is no EMI noise to contend with on the signal lines, system design time is reduced. 3. Supports bidirectional/unidirectional 2-channel transmission. Can be designed as either a bidirectional or unidirectional 2-channel transmission system according to requirements. 4. Also supports power supply/control signal transmission. Can transmit power supply/control signals using metal hybrid cable. 5. The push-pull design enables easy removal and installation Removal and installation are enabled by simplified operation, contributes to enhancing work efficiency. Application Control and transmission among components including Factory Automation equipment, medical devices measuring instruments, etc. In cases where the application will demand a high level of reliability, such as automotive, 1 2016.11 please contact a company representative for further information.
