As a specialist for interfaces, ODU develops and produces individual systems as well as standard solutions for medical applications with highest requirements regarding performance and failure protection.
When exchanging information between different participants and devices; communication protocols form the basis, defining different framework conditions for data transfer.
In robot-assisted surgical systems, copper lines quickly reach their physical limits in terms of transmission speed with low latency. This is where fiber optic technology brings numerous advantages that are of vital importance in medical technology. These include:
Since there is no direct contact between the contact ends, Expanded Beam connections are insensitive to contamination and can be easily cleaned. Under normal conditions, cleaning is sufficient up to every 5,000 mating cycles. This ensures reliable transmission without any loss in the signal path.
The robust and very compact style allows configurations of up to twelve fibers on smallest installation space, for example in the ODU MEDI-SNAP®.
The ready-made fiber optic system solution is also available in the following connector series: ODU AMC® Series T, ODU MINI-SNAP® and ODU-MAC®.
