Product selection guide

The R series Single-channel (SM or MM) rotary joints offer many variations. The rugged body allows fiber pigtail, ST, or FC receptacles on either the rotor side or the stator side. One can configure the package to fit the need exactly. The standard base models are RPT, RFC, and FST for pigtails, FC/PC, and ST/PC receptacles.

The R series features extremely low insertion loss and impressive return loss performance for both singlemode and multimode fibers. Model RPTA typically yields return loss figures higher than 60 dB. These rugged devices can operate under arctic temperature environment (See insertion loss and return loss temperature cycling plots on the left). All models are dust and water tight for harsh environment. Optional pressure compensation is available with model RPTPC for shallow water applications.
