Abstract: A surgical robotic system includes a control tower and a mobile cart. The control tower is configured to selectively output power and includes a frequency generator and a converter. The frequency generator is configured to generate an electrical frequency signal and the converter is configured to receive the electrical frequency signal and convert the electrical frequency signal to a first optical signal having a unique identifier frequency. The mobile cart is configured to receive the first optical signal from the control tower and includes an optical splice configured to loop the first optical signal back to the control tower as a second optical signal and deliver the first optical signal to a frequency monitor of the mobile cart.

Abstract: A surgical robotic system includes a control tower having at least one first component configured to transmit and receive communication data and at least one first multimode fiber optic connection. The control tower also includes a first single mode fiber optic connection and a first optical bulkhead connector coupled to the at least one multimode fiber optic connection and the single mode fiber optic connection. The system also includes a surgeon console having a display configured to display video data, at least one second component configured to transmit and receive the communication data, at least one second multimode fiber optic connection, and a second single mode fiber optic connection. The surgeon console further includes a second optical bulkhead connector coupled to the at least one second multimode fiber optic connection and the second single mode fiber optic connection. The system also includes a main cable coupled to the first optical bulkhead connector and the second optical bulkhead connector.
