The traditional underwater submarine, also known as remotely operated vehicles, is connected to the ship with a set of cables. These cables are stored in a winch where slip rings are installed. With this system, power and other signal can be transmitted between the main ship and ROV.

In ROV’s transmission system, slip rings are playing an important role. Fiber optic rotary joints are used for communication signal transmission. Fiber optic rotary joints alone are not enough; they are usually integrated with power transmission slip rings. This integration can therefore ensure smooth signal transmission while providing constant drive to the ROV. So what’s the fittest fiber optic slip ring model for ROVs? JINPAT has develop specific fiber optic electric slip rings for ROVs that works around 3,000 meter undersea. These specific ROV slip rings integrate multi-channels single mode fiber optic rotary joint and multi-channels electric slip ring that can work at 2,500V. Meanwhile, to ensure high quality transmission of optic signals, signal repeaters are installed in the cable system.

China, just like many other countries in the world, is exploring its way deep down to the sea, searching for infinite possibilities. JINPAT will also devote to developing innovative slip rings to support submersibles and other underwater robotics. Through providing technology support, JINPAT without doubt will be part of this great exploration.
