Space Optical Data Transfer Unit - SOT series

Space Optical Data Transfer Unit - SOT series

Space Optical Data Transfer Unit provide a means to transfer data between points thru. Near-infrared rays without laying cable.

There are different communication options available;

- Parallel communication

- Ethernet

- CC-Link

Since light is used as a transmission medium, there is no chance that data transmission is disturbed by electromagnetic field.
