JINPAT's Optical Fiber Slip Ring Solutions for Advanced Research Applications

In the fields of biomedical research and neurotechnology innovation, accurate data transmission and real-time signal integrity are critical, especially in experiments involving live animal testing, such as small animal neural signal acquisition or behavioral simulation.

Recently, a high-tech research institute presented   JINPAT Electronics with a challenging request: a custom fiber optic slip ring with an optical transmission power of up to 30W, far exceeding the industry standard of 200mW.

The Challenge:

The client’s use case involved a rotating platform designed for small-animal (mice) testing, requiring:

1. High-bandwidth, high-power optical transmission

2. Stable electrical power channels

3. Compact structure for precision equipment

4. Low signal interference and extended rotation life

Unfortunately, such high-power optical transmission (30W) remains a significant technical bottleneck industry-wide — and JINPAT’s current offerings support up to 200mW. Yet, the inquiry itself reflects growing interest and demand from research clients, and also motivates our R&D team to push toward the next-generation high-power optical transmission.

Our Current Capabilities

While 30W optical modules are not yet commercially viable, JINPAT has already made significant breakthroughs in integrated hollow shaft slip ring technology, suitable for similar applications.

We proudly offer:

LPT000-0640-0210-06FO

1. No through hole, compact form factor

2. 6 circuits 40A + 2 circuits 10A, robust electrical performance

3. 6 optical fiber channels (4 single-mode, 2 multi-mode)

4. Designed for harsh environments like shore power winches

   

LPT000-0602-06FO

1. 6 circuits 2A + 6 single-mode fiber channels

2. Optimized for low-current, high-signal transmission

3. Custom-developed for marine electrical applications, but adaptable to lab environments

   

While our standard fiber optic slip rings currently max out at 200mW, we view this 30W research demand as a call to innovation. JINPAT is open to co-development projects with research institutions and medical device manufacturers！

We invite researchers and integrators to collaborate with us in exploring advanced slip ring solutions for the next era of biomedical and sensor-based experimentation!
