Additional Details
Introduce your students to the mysteries of fiber optics!
Provide an effective hands-on demonstration of the science behind lightwave communication. With this kit, you will assemble a fiber-optics system capable of transmitting your voice from microphone to speaker using a light beam guided by a fiber cable. No prior knowledge of fiber optics is necessary.
The unassembled kit may be used to supplement fiber-optic curricula in the classroom, or as an extra-curricular science project. An ideal kit for the project-oriented instructor. Kit contains: Electronic Components, Printed Wiring Boards, 10 feet of Fiber Cable Tutorial Guide, and Assembly Instructions.
Products being sold are not toys. They are for Educational / Laboratory use only. They are not for use by children 12 and under.
