Optical link acts just like an electrical cable

Anyone who needs the performance of fibre-optic communications with the convenience of a standard electrical connection should check out the MR121 ZapFree encoder cable.

Anyone who needs the performance of fibre-optic communications with the convenience of a standard electrical connection should check out the new MR121 ZapFree encoder cable from Sensor-Technik.

This clever design looks like a regular electrical connector, and is used the same way, but builds electrical/optical conversion electronics into the connector shell to give all the benefits of robust and reliable fibre-optic communications.

Developed to eliminate the problems of electromagnetic interference over long transmission distances between motion sensors and controllers, the MR121 ZapFree encoder cable employs fibre-optic technology in a way that is completely transparent to the user.

No fibre optic expertise or additional engineering resources are required to use the cable, and so special cleaning or care techniques are required.

Simple to use and highly durable, the MR121 ZapFree encoder cable provides an extremely cost-effective option in challenging industrial environments, delivering error-free communication over cable runs in excess of 1km.
