Ethernet has been operational in slip rings since the mid 1980s when it started being transmitted across twisted pair wire. As the format progressed the data speed increased requiring more bandwidth. Ensuring functionality through a slip ring has become dependent upon proper configuration. Passive slip rings can still handle the vast majority of Ethernet requirements today, but guaranteeing performance in your application requires we specify the following details up front to configure the optimal slip ring.
• Circuits : 3*10A, 2*Gigabit Ethernet
• Electrical noise : ≤30mΩ(50rpm)
• Dielectric strength : ≥500V@50Hz (power & signal)
• Insulation resistance : ≥100MΩ@100VDC (power & signal)
• Contact material : Precious metal (P),Gold to gold (S)
• Housing material : Aluminium alloy
• IP protection grade : IP54
