Optical Voice Link, Duplex Kit

The Duplex Optical Voice Link is a project oriented introduction to fiber optic communications. Multiple applications can utilize this kit. Technicians might use it to provide an isolated voice link in a construction crane. Salvage divers could use its communication potential as part of their diving equipment. An instructor may use it as a short, hands-on fiber optic curriculum or as a module to demonstrate before the class. A student may use the kit for a science project while hobbyists may use it to amaze their friends.

You will gain important experience and technical knowledge from working with the electronic microphone, analog fiber transmitter and receiver and the fiber optic cable interfaces.

NOTE: This kit must be assembled before conducting experiments. No prior fiber optics experience, special tools or training are needed to build, use and enjoy the multiple applications of this kit. Some experience with soldering is recommended for completion.
