FiveCo, in collaboration with Fischer Connectors’ innovation lab, has developed a high-speed optoelectronic connection with one rotational degree of freedom. This first prototype is based on USB3 and has overcome many multidisciplinary challenges to develop such hybrid technology.
It offers a data transfer speed of 5 Gbit/s, a full duplex communication and a small footprint. This project has required all the know-how of FiveCo through skills in optics, mechanics, electronics and embedded firmware.
