The swivel provides a rotating connection for low voltage power, electrical signal and optical cables in a single package. Its shaft is configured with hanging turret side cable pigtails.

According to MacArtney, the model 430 is designed to be located at the top of a swivel stack to allow functionality of a multi-channel fiber optic rotary joint.
