Optical Interconnect Technology
Medical equipment and devices are often situated and used in environments that are full of noise, such as high voltages and high magnetic fields. Transmission noise is the utmost hindrance for diagnostic imaging, where even the tiniest changes in the affected area should not be overlooked. Hitachi has succeeded in producing fiber and lighter optical wires using our unique mounting technologies and extending the fields of application. Noise free optical transmission, immune to the effects of electricity and magnetic force, will expand the possibilities for diagnostic imaging.
Benefits of O/E Technology
- Noise free optical transmission
- Small diameter
- Lightweight
- Can be handled with a traditional cable
- High speed / large capacity signaling
- Affordable solution for complex problems
