Graymark offers a wide variety of fiber optic kits; one will meet your training or experiment needs. Each kit uses a proven system of low cost plastic fiber cable, emitters, detectors, connectors and mounting brackets. This commercial grade fiber optic system does not require special tools, training or prior experience. Parts and instructions to build at least one Fiber Optic data link are supplied with each kit.
1731: Intermediate Fiber Optic Training Kit
Comprised of a 60-page manual and more than 85 components. Experiments include making a light pipe, fiber cable transmission, splices, connectors and terminations, speed of opto-electronic devices, transmitters, receivers, and making a star coupler. Can be used with any fiber optic textbook or by itself. Experiments give the student affordable hands-on experience. In addition to fiber optic splices, mounting hardware and cable, 18 semiconductors are provided including LEDs, photodiodes, phototransistors, photodarlingtons, and TTL, CMOS and linear ICs.
