Optical Voice Link Kit
The Optical Voice Link Kit is the ideal introduction for those students first learning about the marvels, mysteries and science of light transmission through optical fiber.
Students will be fascinated by hearing their own voices, after it has been converted into light and then coupled into, through and out of an optical fiber. This kit is suitable for science projects, home projects, short audio fiber optic curriculums for schools, and inexpensive classroom demonstrations.
No prior fiber optics experience, special tools or training are needed for students to be able to build, use and enjoy the multiple applications of this kit.
