Device for Transmitting Signals Between Two Rotatable Sub-Assemblies

In a device for transmitting signals on two channels between two sub-assemblies rotatable relative to each other about an axis, a photodetector and a light source are connected via connecting lines to a receiver circuit and transmitter circuit. At least one of the connecting lines has a section extending with a radial directional component. The beam path of one channel extends with an axial directional component radially outside relative to the beam path of the optical signal of the other channel, past the section of the at least one connecting line.
