Educational Communication Kit

Provides students the opportunity to examine fiber optic communication technology at its basics. It?s a great hands-on educational product as well as an opportunity for the serious investigator/ experimenter to explore fiber optic technology inexpensively. The Communication Kit is an easy-to-assemble, digital link for experimenting and beginner science projects. (This digital link also can be used to construct high-voltage isolation for telephones, modems and computers.)

Features:

• Visible fiber optic source and detector
• Built-in oscillator for testing and demos
• TTL and CMOS logic-compatible inputs and outputs
• Low-voltage operation
• Utilizes plastic optical fiber with simple terminations
• 32-page comprehensive booklet covering assembly, schematics, experiments, fiber optic fundamentals and circuit operation.

Kit contains red LED and photodetector, one meter of optical fiber, printed wiring boards, polishing film, oscillator chip, electronic components and instruction booklet. Suitable for students in grades 9 and above.

(We recommend some soldering experience for assembly.)
