2.2 Connectors
The
Fiber-optic & Electrical Rotary Joint
has two different types of connectors, optical and electrical. There are two
connectors for each type, requiring a signal cable/patch cord (connecting to a console, computer or other signaling de-
vice) and a subject cable/patch cord (connecting to the experimental subject or device).

2.2.1 Electrical Cables
Ensure that the electrical connectors are free of dust using an air duster before installing the cables. When not in use,
install plastic caps on connectors for protection and cleanliness.
• Connect the signal electrical cable to the fixed electrical connector (Fig.
• Connect the subject electrical cable to the rotary connector (Fig.
• The subject electrical cable can be looped into the
Clamp
(Fig.
) to provide extra torque. The cable is secured
using a #4-40 nylon socket-head cap screw.
